Description

Network Rail intends to establish a value driven, collaborative integrated relationship that will deliver our Control Period 7 (CP7) and potentially CP8 renewals portfolio. Network Rail Southern Region is seeking to achieve a step change in the way renewals are delivered on its network, making the most of modern methods of working and technology, collaboration and relationship focused contracting, and a portfolio focus to achieve the objectives of the Strategic Business Plan (SBP). Southern Integrated Delivery (SID) will be a fully integrated team based on ‘Project 13’ principles comprising all categories of railway assets: Signalling & Telecoms, Track, Buildings & Civils (B&C), Electrification and Plant (E&P) and Minor Works (Network Rail). The SID will bring together the strengths, capabilities, and knowledge of the supply chain and Network Rail and the scope is expected to include some or all the following items: development, design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the Southern renewals work bank. These works will be undertaken on Kent, Sussex and Wessex routes, and will primarily be focussed on the delivery of the renewals portfolio, however options will be included to enable enhancements also to be delivered, subject to capacity and where the SID is considered the optimum procurement route. The establishment of the SID will be undertaken in tranches, the first of which pertaining to this notice is for the procurement of a Buildings & Civils and an Electrification & Plant Business Partner.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** The procurement documents are available via the link in Section I.3. These include the Instructions to Participants (which include general instructions, pre-qualification instructions and draft instructions to tender), information on scope, and the draft terms and conditions. A web-link to the market briefing event held on 01.11.2021 is also included in the document pack. Applicants are required to complete and submit one pre-qualification questionnaire by the date set out in Section IV.2.2 in order to express an interest in this opportunity (pre-qualification stage 1) and be considered for pre-qualification stage 2 - further details are included in the Instructions to Participants. This opportunity relates to the appointment of a Buildings & Civils and an Electrification & Plant (E&P) Business Partner to work alongside appointed Business Partners in Signalling & Telecoms, Track, and Minor Works (Network Rail Partner), referred to collectively as Southern Integrated Delivery (SID). The SID will be responsible for managing the renewals portfolio across the Southern Region. All SID Partners will be commercially aligned and jointly incentivised. Each SID Partner will operate under their own Principal Contractor License and will undertake both Principal Designer and Principal Contractor obligations under CDM regulations. Whilst Network Rail retains some understanding of the value of the CP7 Renewals portfolio, due to the way Enhancement schemes are funded, the value of Enhancements is purely indicative and subject to change. For the purposes of valuing this forthcoming opportunity, Network Rail has assumed that the volume of work delivered within CP8 is aligned with CP7 current estimates. Recognising these constraints, it is estimated that the total value of the SID may be in the region of £4.7 billion - £9.6 billion of which it is anticipated that Buildings and Civils constitutes 30% - 45%, Track 15% - 25%, Signalling & Telecoms 5% - 15%, Electrification and Plant 5% -10% whilst Minor Works is estimated to constitute 20%- 30% of the overall estimated value. However, given the uncertainty over volumes and funding commitments, the overall value of this opportunity may vary and therefore may differ from this range. Applicants will have the option to bid for both Lot 1 – Buildings & Civils and Lot 2 – Electrification & Plant However Network Rail intends to restrict the number of Lots an applicant may be awarded under this Procurement Event (and the number of roles) to a maximum of one. This principle will also apply to the appointment of all future appointments to the SID; the number of places an economic operator is eligible to be awarded across Buildings & Civils, Electrification & Plant, Track and Signalling & Telecommunications will be restricted to one. This is because all Business partners under the SID will be party to the same contract and Network Rail does not consider that optimal operation of the SID will be achieved if an economic operator holds more than one of the key Partner roles. Network Rail reserves the right to cancel or suspend this procurement process at any time without incurring any cost or liability. Network Rail shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any organisation in responding to this notice or in tendering for the proposed Contract. Network Rail does not bind itself to enter into any agreement arising from this Notice and no contractual rights express or implied arising out of this Notice or arise out of the procedure envisaged by this Notice. Network Rail reserves the right to disqualify any organisation who provides information or confirmations which later prove to be untrue or incorrect, does not supply the information required by this Notice or as otherwise directed by Network Rail during the procurement process.
