UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

The procurement aims to establish a partnership between Network Rail (NR) and a renewable energy developer for the deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays across various sites in Scotland. With the main objectives of cost-saving, enhancing operational efficiency, and improving service delivery, this partnership will contribute to NR's sustainability goals and reduce its carbon footprint. The project focuses on installing solar PV arrays at stations, depots, offices, car parks (with an emphasis on solar carports), and other viable sites within Scotland, the customer for the outcome of this procurement. By strategically selecting locations, NR aims to maximise the benefits of solar energy generation. However, ground-mounted solar PV arrays are excluded due to potential land-use conflicts and environmental concerns. The procurement will select a renewable energy developer who will be granted an exclusive development agreement for five years, with a potential two-year extension at Network Rail’s discretion and subject to satisfactory performance. The developer will be responsible for conducting site surveys, funding, constructing, maintaining, owning, and operating the solar PV arrays. They will also decommission the arrays at the end of the lease and PPA and restore the site afterward.

This Procurement Event will seek to establish a Contract/s for Lifts and Escalator Maintenance and a Contract for Inspections and will establish 2 x Frameworks for the renewal and replacement of Lifts and Escalators.

Please note that this procurement event contains lot options (lots 1,1a, 2, 6 & 6a) and therefore NR will not make an award for all lots, please refer to the Procurement Documents for more information.

This Procurement Event covers the design and build of a fleet of (up to) eleven LWRTs, to replace the rail delivery trains currently in operation.

Network Rail (NR) intends to select suppliers to the Midland Main Line Electrification (MMLE) Partnership Framework for an initial term of 5 years with the option to extend yearly increments up to a further 5 years. The MMLE programme will extend electric operation on the MML through to Nottingham and Sheffield. To help realise early electrification benefits Route Section (between Market Harborough to Wigston South) has been delivered separately from the remaining route sections as a continuation of the existing programme. The scope of this procurement is for the next stage of the electrification between Wigston and Nottingham out to Sheffield. The values for each Lot are estimates only. As such, they are not guaranteed and do not act as a minimum or maximum work value for the programme nor a guarantee as to volume. One key MMLE objective is ‘delivery on spend per single track kilometre (£/STK) target’. The recently commissioned London to Corby electrification was delivered at a rate of £3.7m per STK with the application of SPEED principles. The next stage of electrification is targeted to deliver £2.5m per STK. This programme focuses on challenging and driving down the STK rate. Details of all the MMLE objectives can be found in the Strategic Brief. The Framework shall be split into the 4 work disciplines across the following delivery lots: Lot 1 – Power & Distribution; Lot 2 – Structures & Civils; Lot 3 – OLE & Integration; Lot 4 – Signalling & Telecoms. The values for each Lot are estimates only. As such, they are not guaranteed and do not act as a minimum or maximum work value for the programme nor a guarantee as to volume. There will be 1 Partner plus 2 pre-qualified reserve suppliers appointed to Lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 on the framework. Reserve suppliers have been included to achieve appropriate resilience in delivery and to ensure business contingency. Tenderers may bid for any number of lots, and be awarded on a maximum of 2 different lots. The Partnership Framework includes a performance-based incentive mechanism to drive the STK rate and achieve the other MMLE objectives, including health and safety, decarbonisation and social value. Partners will be incentivised both individually and collectively. There will be an opportunity to comment on the contractual documentation. NR will determine which, if any, changes should result in revisions to the Framework based on the objective merit of the proposed changes. Further detail is set out in the Instructions to Participants. The contractual documentation will not be subject to negotiation. The negotiations will relate to the price element only. Participants will have an opportunity to update their tenders following negotiations. Initial Tenders will be evaluated but feedback will not be shared with participants. Only feedback on Final Tenders will be shared. Please note, that the value ranges of each Lot in the Instructions to Participants are indicative only. Similarly, whilst the Contract Notice states a Framework value cap of £1.2bn, NR currently has internal governance approval for a Framework value of £950 million (associated with the main elements of the MMLE works as currently envisaged). The higher value included in the Contract Notice is not an absolute cap but is indicative of the potential level to which the original budget could increase if additional works and services to that which is currently envisaged, are required. All values are estimates only, and the final values will depend on the precise works and services required to be delivered, the means of delivery, the way in which projects and project risks materialise, the actual rates of inflation up to completion of the programme, and other factors.

Network Rail intends to procure a framework for Reactive and Small Scheme works covering its building and civil assets within the Eastern Region. The types of works to be procured under the framework will be reactive works and small schemes that are of low complexity. Such works predominately impact the operation of the railway and will cover the following categories of works: Reactive call outs (Emergency & Urgent) Planned Preventative Maintenance works (PPM) Small schemes The Reactive and Small Schemes framework is envisaged to be the Eastern Region’s route to market to deliver such projects and requirements under NR’s Strategic Business Plan during CP7. The framework will be lotted as outlined below covering the geographical scope of the Eastern Region (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-regions/eastern/): Lot 1 - Civil Assets (Covering North & East, East Coast and East Midlands Routes) Lot 2 – Civil Assets (Covering Anglia Route) Lot 3 – Building Assets (Covering North & East, East Coast and East Midlands Routes) Lot 4 – Building Assets (Covering Anglia Route) To ensure supply chain resilience NR will retain the flexibility to allow Suppliers to work across Lots but only restricted to their specific discipline. This will only apply in instances where it has been deemed by NR that Suppliers within the relevant Lot under the same discipline cannot fulfil Network Rail’s requirement(s). The initial term of the framework is 5 years with the option to extend for a further two periods of one year each. The indicative values provided for each of the Lots are estimates only, these are based on CP7 Strategic Business Plan budgets rather than delivery plan values. As such, they are not guaranteed and do not act as a minimum or maximum workbank value for the control period or a volume guarantee. The maximum value of the framework exceeds the combined value of the lots, this is so as the value is inclusive of the estimated values of optional extensions for the framework. Examples of work types to be covered and delivered under the scope of the framework include (but are not limited to): o Geotechnical - small scheme emerging works (from reactive), Maintain KVLs o Maintenance of foot bridges, under bridges, overbridges, tunnels, culverts, structural integrity o Rock cuttings, soil cuttings, earthworks first response etc o Buildings – small scheme emerging works (from reactive) o Structures – small scheme emerging works (from reactive), Structural integrity Negotiations to be conducted as part of the tender process will relate to the price element only. Participants will have an opportunity to update the pricing elements of their tenders following negotiations. Initial Tenders will be evaluated but feedback will not be shared with participants. Only feedback on Final Tenders will be shared following completion of evaluation of the tenders.
