Notice Description

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is responsible for promoting public transport within the West Midlands, operates and maintains bus and Metro stations and passenger shelters, supports local railway services and stations and provides passenger transport information. The WMCA on behalf of Midland Metro Limited (MML) is looking to procure a suitably experienced and qualified provider that can complete Track Work Services as part of an NEC4 single supplier framework over a maximum duration of 4 years commencing on 8th January 2024. This includes a range of track work types including gauge restoration, rail replacement, ballasted rail works, tram stop rail replace and embedded rail works. This tender is being evaluated on the basis of 45/45/10 quality/price/social value. Please note that a financial assessment will be undertaken as part of the Standard Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) process. If a bidder fails their self-assessment but agrees a range of mitigating measures during the clarification period of the tender, their tender responses will be scored in line with the published criteria providing the remaining requirements of the SSQ have also been met. An additional financial assessment may be conducted on the proposed supplier immediately prior to contract award, to provide extra assurance and to consider the latest financial information if there is a protracted tender duration between the SSQ stage and the final contract award. Also, bidders will need to submit their social value submission directly via the Social Value Portal by the tender closing date. Please see the tender documents for further details of the framework including how to register to attend the tender site visit on 12th October 2023 and how to complete the social value submission.

Additional information: Please note that the minimum and maximum contract sums are an estimate and aggregate spend over the duration of the 4 year maximum term framework agreement may be more or less than the figures quoted which are an estimate at the time of tendering.
