Description

Network Rail Southern Region intends to establish a single Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework (MWF-B&C) that aligns with Network Rail’s requirements of prompt and efficient delivery of the CP7 and CP8 work banks, as well as rationalising several route-based frameworks into one Regional Framework, thus providing regional consistency on how this work is managed. Once established, it is intended that the MWF-B&C will maximise productivity and efficiency through the use of modern methods of working, technology, collaboration, and relationship focused contracting. The proposed commercial model has been designed to support this intent. Whilst the primary focus of the MWF-B&C will be unplanned, planned and cyclical maintenance works, there will also be the option where deemed appropriate for the delivery of non-complex, low value renewal projects. The contracting strategy is to appoint 16 Delivery Partners under nine Lots that are aligned to disciplines and sub discipline work types. There will be two Generalist Lots, one covering Buildings (Lot 1) and one covering Civils (Lot 5), primarily aimed at delivering the unplanned (reactive) works, but with scope included to also deliver planned maintenance and project works. There will also be three specialist Buildings Lots (Lots 2 to 4) and four specialist Civils Lots (Lots 6 to 9) aimed at delivering the cyclical, planned maintenance and project works. The number of Delivery Partners to be appointed to each Lot is detailed in the Instructions to Participants, which can be found in the procurement documents.

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. There are restrictions with regards to how many, and to which Lots a Candidate may submit an application for during prequalification. This is to increase competition and to encourage SME participation. Detail on these restrictions, as well as the desired number of Candidates Network Rail wishes to shortlist for ITT for each Lot, can be found in the Instructions to Participants. Applicants are required to complete and submit a pre-qualification questionnaire in accordance with the Instructions to Participants by the date set out in Section IV.2.2 to express an interest in this opportunity. This opportunity relates to the appointment of Delivery Partners to deliver unplanned (reactive) works, cyclical, planned maintenance, and project minor works on Buildings and Civils assets across the Southern Region. The Lot 1 Delivery Partner may also be awarded works under Lot 2, Lot 3, Lot 4, and Lot 5. The Lot 5 Delivery Partner may also be awarded works under Lot 1, Lot 6, Lot 7, Lot 8, and Lot 9. Each Delivery Partner will operate under their own Principal Contractor License and will undertake both Principal Designer and Principal Contractor obligations under CDM regulations as required. It is estimated that the total value of the Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework may be in the region of £1.13 billion – £1.69 billion across all nine (9) Lots. The estimated Lot values are specified in Section II.2. As the work bank for CP8 is still to be defined, 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. Until the final determination of the CP7 Business Plan has been confirmed with the regulator (December 2023) the Lot values advertised remain indicative. Once the determination has been confirmed, the final Lot values will be communicated to all Tenderers. Network Rail intends to include a guaranteed minimum spend to be allocated to each of the 9 Lots. Network Rail is seeking to commit 40% of the lower anticipated value range of the final Lot value communicated to be shared between each appointed Delivery Partner within the Lot. Any commitment provided applies to CP7 only. Further details are provided in the procurement documents. All appointed Southern Integrated Delivery Business Partners may utilise this Framework Agreement, in such circumstances all call-off agreements will be administered under aligned Terms and Conditions. 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.
