Summary of the contracting process

J. Murphy & Sons is seeking experienced civil engineering subcontractors for a regional framework covering rope access and vegetation management across England. The buying organisation is BIP Solutions Limited. Work will support major infrastructure programmes and project portfolios including Network Rail CP7, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, Peel Ports and other rail and infrastructure projects. Services include IRATA-certified rope access technicians for work at height, access to difficult or restricted locations, inspections, maintenance and minor repairs, and safe work on bridges, embankments, retaining structures, cuttings and other assets. Vegetation services cover clearance, tree and invasive-species removal, sightline and access-route maintenance, environmental compliance, disposal of arisings, and emergency or reactive response. The procurement is categorised as civil engineering support works.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited expressions of interest through a selective procedure, as a call-off from a framework agreement. Suppliers were required to submit their tender by 21 July 2026 at 17:30. The resulting framework contract is scheduled to run from 14 August 2026 to 11 August 2028. Its estimated value is between £500,000 and £1,000,000, including the stated minimum and maximum values. The framework is divided into regional lots across England, with lot structure and subsequent tender information provided through CompeteFor. Call-off opportunities are expected to align with regional delivery teams and project locations. The opportunity is classified as works and is identified under CPV 71311100, civil engineering support services.

This opportunity suits specialist subcontractors that can combine rope access, arboricultural and vegetation-management capabilities for infrastructure environments. Relevant suppliers should have IRATA-certified rope access technicians and the practical ability to work at height, on steep slopes, in confined or restricted spaces, difficult terrain and alongside live or operational infrastructure. Experience supporting inspections, surveys, maintenance, minor repairs and safety-critical access requirements will be useful. The work also calls for controlled vegetation clearance, tree and invasive-species removal, environmental and ecological compliance, and safe disposal of vegetation and other arisings. Suppliers need to manage work with minimal disruption and provide rapid emergency response for storm damage, fallen trees, access obstructions and urgent safety interventions. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants.
