Renewal Options

a) It is proposed to use a target cost contract (NR12) for a single procurement event for design & construct, where the construction implementation to handback phases (GRIP 6-8) will be held as an employer's option. b) Whilst it is anticipated the railway control systems works are to be undertaken by others, Network Rail reserves the right, subject to funding & consents, to include and award in part or in full these works within this procurement event. Where there is a technological requirement, signalling works will directly contracted by Network Rail. The CR-T identifies the core signalling civils scope (CR-T section 4.3.9) that is included in this contract. Signalling and associated elements that are not identified in CR-T section 4.3.9, signalling power and operational telecommunications (identified in CR-T section 4.11 signalling, 4.12.3 signalling power and 4.6.2.10 operational telecoms) are currently excluded from the scope of this PQQ whilst NR and the 3rd party funder are in discussions about how the work will be undertaken and who will undertake the work. If the main design and build contractor is required to include any of this work as part of the overall scope, an information pack will be provided at ITT which will outline the scope and any specific requirements.
