Description

Network Rail is undertaking a Decarbonisation and Energy Efficiency Programme across a wide range of built assets in all UK regions. This project is part of Network Rail’s commitment to the Government’s Road to Zero strategy, aiming to achieve zero carbon emissions through the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. The programme supports Network Rail’s overarching Environmental Sustainability Strategy, which outlines our targets to reduce carbon and energy consumption across all operations. As one of the largest electricity consumers in the UK, Network Rail has set ambitious targets to decarbonise both traction and non-traction electricity consumption. This will be achieved, in part, through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) that stabilise electricity costs, provide long-term financial resilience, and directly contribute to our decarbonisation goals. The scope of this procurement event focuses on the implementation of a Charge Point Management System (CPMS) that will underpin Network Rail’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure across its sites. The CPMS will play a critical role in supporting Network Rail’s sustainability objectives by ensuring the efficient management, monitoring, and optimisation of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This will contribute to the broader decarbonisation efforts and the transition towards energy-efficient operations. The system to be procured must integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure, provide real-time data on performance and usage, enable smart charging capabilities to optimise energy consumption, and support billing and payment processes. Furthermore, the CPMS must be scalable to accommodate future expansion, supporting Network Rail’s target to manage up to 10,000 charge points within the next five years. The key objectives of the CPMS procurement include: • Management and scalability: The system must manage an existing network of 200 charge points, with the capacity to scale to over 3,000 charge points in the first two years and up to 10,000 charge points within five years. • Regulatory compliance: The CPMS must ensure full compliance with all relevant regulatory standards, including data security and GDPR. • Operational efficiency: The system must include advanced features such as smart charging, dynamic load management, and predictive maintenance to optimise performance and reduce costs. • Reporting and analytics: The CPMS must offer comprehensive reporting and analytics tools to enable data-driven decision-making and performance monitoring. • User satisfaction: The system should feature an intuitive, user-friendly interface and be supported by robust training and ongoing technical support to ensure high user satisfaction. • Sustainability integration: The system should support Network Rail’s sustainability goals by incorporating renewable energy sources and enabling advanced energy management features. • Seamless roaming capabilities: The CPMS must facilitate seamless roaming, allowing users to access various charging networks and integrate with public charging infrastructure. This procurement is key to supporting Network Rail’s environmental strategy, improving operational efficiency, and achieving long-term carbon reduction targets.
