Northern Trains Limited (NTL) and TransPennine Express (TPE) intends to go to market for the procurement of Security Services across their respective estates. The proposed procurement seeks to procure a single supplier to deliver an integrated rail security service across the NTL and TPE networks, combining Travel Safe Officer (TSO), Station Security and Counter Terrorism Patrol (CTP) services. The overarching objective is to enhance the safety and security of customers and colleagues, reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, support compliance with railway and government security requirements, and provide a visible, customer focused security presence across stations and onboard services. The successful supplier will deliver a comprehensive security solution across a portfolio of managed stations and operational locations, providing proactive patrols, incident response, enforcement of Railway Byelaws, safeguarding support, and intelligence led security activity. The service will include dedicated Travel Safe Officers undertaking both station and train patrols, alongside specialist Counter Terrorism Patrol resources focused on protective security measures, threat deterrence and compliance with rail security obligations. A key requirement of the contract will be the ability to provide a flexible and responsive service model that can adapt to changing operational priorities across both operators. The supplier will be expected to support emerging security concerns, targeted interventions, seasonal demand changes, major incidents, rail disruption, special events and ad hoc operational requirements. In addition to frontline delivery, the supplier will provide all associated management, supervision, training, vehicles, uniforms, equipment, body-worn video, reporting systems and operational support required to deliver the service. The supplier will work collaboratively with NTL, TPE, the British Transport Police and other stakeholders to develop deployment plans and ensure security activities remain aligned to evolving risks and business needs throughout the contract term. Performance will be managed through a suite of key performance indicators covering operational delivery, resource availability, patrol completion, incident management, compliance, customer service and reporting. A strong emphasis will be placed on partnership working, continuous improvement, data-driven decision making and the ability to proactively identify and respond to emerging risks and opportunities for service enhancement. The procurement aims to establish a security partnership that delivers a safe, secure and welcoming environment for customers and colleagues while supporting the wider safety, security and customer experience objectives of both NTL and TPE.

This Notice is now defunct and will not be updated further. UKSA intends to run a competitive procurement to secure a supplier/consortium to lead on the delivery and operation of the Earth Observation Data Hub (EODH) from April 2027 – March 2030. EODH provides a national gateway and platform for Earth Observation (EO) and model datasets. It enables users to access UK and global commercial and research satellite data, processing workflows, and applications for analysing surface temperature and land-use change. Through a single point of access (https://eodatahub.org.uk), the EO Data Hub integrates commercial and open EO datasets, allowing users to search, visualise, analyse, and process data at scale. The EODH is an operational national capability, currently delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). The current delivery model will continue until March 2027 and will include a technical handover phase with the new delivery supplier throughout January – March 2027. Whilst final decisions on the exact scope are yet to be made our current primary aim of the competition will be to outsource operational delivery of the EODH to both EO and non-EO users subject to relevent internal approvals. The competition would invite suppliers to demonstrate capability, user reach and a vision to grow the activity. An important aspect will be to maximise the re-use of existing intellectual property and minimise any disruption to current users. The expectations will include further development of the established EODH service – broadening the user base, expanding data availability, and improving overall service functionality. The chosen supplier will also be responsible for managing a seamless transition period and uninterrupted service continuity. UPDATE 01/10/2026 NEXT STEPS FOR EARTH OBSERVATION DATA HUB PROCUREMENT Thank you to everyone who participated in our EODH market engagement and responded to the RFI. Your feedback has helped shape the next stage of this important national capability. We are pleased to confirm that a competitive procurement for the next phase of EODH will take place. The competition will operate through UKRI-STFC Procurement and will be run by CEDA (NCEO) at RAL Space, working closely with UKSA, rather than directly by UKSA through RM6235 as previously envisaged. In accordance with UK Government policy, elements of EODH delivery have been identified as well suited to an insourced approach within Government. Details on these elements will be elaborated in future communications, but the majority of EODH activities are still expected to be delivered by competitively procured suppliers. This approach provides a strong foundation for EODH’s future. It supports continuity for users, builds on the operational and technical knowledge of the existing service, provides greater flexibility to develop a sustainable operating model, and retains a substantial role for industry in operating, supporting and developing the Hub through to 2030. UKSA and CEDA (NCEO) will provide a further coordinated update shortly, setting out the procurement process, timetable and how interested organisations can participate. For planning purposes and without commitment, we anticipate an ITT being issued in autumn 2026.

Introduction This notice is intended to open dialogue with the market and inform any potential future formal procurement process, to test market capability, supplier interest, delivery options and implementation feasibility. Progression to formal procurement is not guaranteed. Bromford Flagship LiveWest (BFL) is exploring the future provision of its Human Capital Management (HCM) technology for approx 5,600 colleagues. Following organisational integration, BFL currently operates a broad range of legacy people systems and associated processes across HR, payroll, recruitment, onboarding, learning, talent, workforce management and employee relations. This document supports early, informal engagement with potential suppliers. It is not a procurement exercise, invitation to tender or commitment to purchase any solution. The engagement will help BFL understand available market capability, delivery models, indicative costs and implementation considerations before determining the scope and route of any future procurement. BFL is testing whether its emerging ambition is achievable and appropriately framed. We want suppliers to help us understand: • Whether a single platform can meet the breadth of need or whether an integrated ecosystem would provide a stronger outcome. • Which capabilities are standard, configurable, partner-delivered or dependent on third-party integration. • Indicative commercial models and whole-life cost considerations. • Realistic implementation approaches, sequencing, dependencies and timescales. • Any material gaps, risks or emerging practice that BFL should consider before formal procurement. Strategic Vision for People Services BFL wants to create a connected, consistent and future-focused people technology environment that offers a simple experience for colleagues, managers and administrators while strengthening payroll assurance, workforce insight and organisational control. Our ambition is to reduce fragmentation and duplication, increase self-service, improve mobile and field-based accessibility, automate routine activity and establish trusted people data that can support operational and strategic decision-making. We are open to a single HCM platform, modular products within one technology family, or a well-integrated ecosystem. The preferred approach must provide a coherent user journey, clear system ownership, secure data flows and sustainable administration over the long term. Design principles • One colleague and manager experience, with single sign-on and minimal switching between applications. • A reliable single source of people data with effective-dated records, governance and auditability. • Configurable self-service and workflow that reduce manual intervention without weakening controls. • Mobile-first and accessible design for office-based, remote and field-based colleagues. • Open integration using modern REST APIs, event-based services and standard data exchange methods. • Actionable reporting through native analytics and integration with Microsoft Power BI. • Secure, compliant, vendor-managed cloud services with appropriate UK or EEA data residency. • A platform and supplier roadmap capable of supporting future organisational change, AI and skills intelligence. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This notice is issued for information gathering purposes only. Participation in this exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process. The contract value provided is an estimate based on current spend for a 5 year contract. RESPONSE INSTRUCTIONS Suppliers wishing to participate should contact [email protected] to receive more details about the planned procurement. The deadline for submission of information is 14 October 2026 .
