Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd is initiating a tender titled "OLE Wire Framework - Request for Supply Chain input into Strategy" associated with the supply of overhead power lines. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated future timeline for the new Frameworks, including a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) expected to be issued in September 2021 and mobilisation scheduled for completion by July 2022. Interested parties are encouraged to provide input through a brief questionnaire by 31st March 2021, as the existing framework agreements are set to expire by June 2022. The total estimated value of this procurement is £30 million, and it falls within the goods category, specifically related to manufacturing, supplying, and delivering wire for overhead line systems across the UK.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in the manufacture and supply of insulated wire, cable, and related products, particularly those specialising in railway and electricity power line installations. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in strategic supply chain management are particularly well-suited to compete. Additionally, this initiative will not only require businesses to fulfil the immediate procurement needs but may also lead to long-term contracts as future phases of the project develop. Given that the procurement strategy is still to be confirmed, suppliers who engage with Network Rail during this early planning phase will have a vital role in shaping the framework and enhancing their chances of being shortlisted in future bidding processes.
