Next Generation On Train WiFi

LNER is looking to procure a new solution with the ability to provide LNER customers and on train staff with high-quality Wi-Fi on LNER's fleet of 65 trains:

The current fleet encompasses 43 x 9 car trains carrying up to 615 passengers and 22 x 5 car trains carrying up to 302 passengers. There will be additional 10 trains with similar numbers to the 9 car trains in the future.

The requirement covers the provision and installation of relevant hardware, delivery of end-user service and provision of data backhaul, also including authentication and data capture. The intention is to utilise the GCA Dynamic Purchasing System RM6370 Space Technology Solutions or another appropriate framework if identified in the course of this market engagement exercise.

LNER would like to gather your feedback on the requirement and your ability to bid for it. Please note, that this is not an invitation to tender at this stage, but intended to gain a better understanding of what is available in the market.
