Network Rail is overhauling its procurement process following the fallout from a legal challenge mounted by one of its long term infrastructure suppliers.
Minutes from February’s board meeting – which have just been made public – reveal that “new procurement assurance processes had been introduced” and that “an internal audit review of procurement evaluations” is being carried out.
The minutes add that the shake-up is a direct result of a legal challenge lodged by Caterpillar subsidiary Progress Rail Services in relation to Network Rail’s botched procurement of a £500M switches and crossings contract.
Progress Rail had been the principal supplier of the relevant infrastructure to Network Rail for over a decade, employing more than 400 skilled workers at sites in Scotland and North of England to meet Network Rail’s requirements.

As a buyer or commissioner of supplies, services and works for the public sector you need to understand and be able to readily access the regulations and policies relating to procurement.
The Crown Commercial Service (
CCS) is responsible for the legal framework for public sector procurement and leads on the development and implementation of procurement policies for government.
Introduction
The over-riding procurement policy requirement is that all public procurement must be based on value for money, defined as “the best mix of quality and effectiveness for the least outlay over the period of use of the goods or services bought”. This should be achieved through competition, unless there are compelling reasons to the contrary.
