Description

This Procurement Event covers the provision of a national framework agreement to deliver Tamper and Regulator services to support track renewal and maintenance projects

Total Quantity or Scope

The purpose of this Procurement Event is to award a framework agreement to provide Tamper and Regulator services over a eight-year term from 01 Apr 2025. The proposed service enables Network Rail Regions and the Routes to support track renewal and track maintenance projects (thereby supporting freight-users and passengers) via a central framework agreement, managed by Supply Chain Services (SCS). Under the proposed arrangements, approximately 15,000 operational shifts will be delivered per year, and it is anticipated that demand will remain at a similar level for the duration of the framework agreement. Under the proposed service model, Supply Chain Services receives an annual maintenance and renewals plan from its regional customers. The on-track-machines (OTMs) offered under the framework agreement are then allocated to support those annual renewals and maintenance plans, having due regard to the capability of the OTMs, and the competitiveness of the shift-rates offered. The following variations during the term of the framework agreement shall be permissible (but with no commitment at the time of framework award): - The ability to extend the term of the agreement by a maximum of two one-year extensions (subject to the granting of prior approval by Network Rail’s governance panel); - The ability to adjust shift rates to cater for the introduction of replacement OTMs - i.e. those destined to replace OTMs decommissioned for reasons of age and/ or poor reliability during the term of the framework agreement. For avoidance of doubt, this permitted variation does not cover the purchase of the OTMs themselves. - The ability to adjust shift rates to support the roll-out of European Train Control System (ETCS) functionality to OTMs - i.e. to reflect changes to the operational/ maintenance regimes. For avoidance of doubt, this permitted variation does not cover the fit-out of supplier-owned OTMs with ETCS equipment.
