Pre Market Engagement: Portable Mobile Phone charging Units

This Market Sounding Briefing and Questionnaire (“Market Sounding”), has been issued by Network Rail (NR) in advance of finalising a proposal to procure a service provision for Portable Mobile Phone Charging in Excess Baggage Units in NR Managed Stations on behalf of NR Retail Property team. The main purpose is for NR to understand the solutions that are available before commencing with a formal competition. The NR Retail Property team is responsible for generating sustainable income from its estate for re-investment in our rail infrastructure.
This requirement supports the NR vision to become a company that is on the side of its passengers and is therefore changing to be more responsive to the needs of passengers and freight users. As part of the Putting Passengers First programme and from a safety perspective NR wants its passengers to feel safer by having access to facilities that enable them to charge their mobile phone(s).
