Summary of the contracting process

BIP Solutions Limited is procuring a regional framework for experienced civil engineering subcontractors providing topographical and surveying services for major infrastructure programmes across England. The scope covers site and corridor surveys, detailed mapping, utility and desktop surveys, permanent-way surveys, structure and track monitoring, survey control, laser scanning, HD video, LiDAR, photogrammetry, drone surveys, asset monitoring and repeat measurement. Suppliers will process and interpret data and produce drawings, models, reports and digital datasets in CAD, BIM and GIS formats, with quality assurance and validation. The framework is intended to support programmes including Network Rail CP7, the TransPennine Route Upgrade, Peel Ports and other rail and infrastructure projects. The procurement is categorised as civil engineering support services (CPV 71311100).

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective procedure, described as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 19:15. The framework contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 11 August 2028. Its estimated value is £1,000,000, with a minimum estimated value of £500,000, both excluding any stated currency conversion and expressed in GBP. The framework is divided into regional lots across England, allowing bids for one or more regions. Selection will consider survey capability and specialist technology, equipment and personnel availability, local presence and mobilisation times, and capacity to deliver concurrent commissions. Suppliers must express interest to receive further tender information and lot details.

This opportunity suits specialist surveying businesses, including SMEs and regional providers, with proven topographical and infrastructure surveying experience, particularly in rail environments. Strong candidates will combine conventional surveying with advanced techniques such as laser scanning, aerial and drone surveys, HD video, digital capture and three-dimensional point-cloud production. The work requires the ability to operate in live, constrained or high-risk environments and to support rail, track, structures and other infrastructure assets. Suppliers should have suitable equipment, skilled personnel, local delivery capability and the capacity to mobilise quickly for multiple concurrent commissions. Relevant strengths also include robust health, safety, environmental and quality performance, accurate digital outputs, and the ability to deliver CAD, BIM and GIS information to industry standards.
