Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd procured a framework for professional survey and minor design services supporting distribution and plant schemes delivered by Works Delivery teams across the Eastern Region. The work covers assured designs and associated surveys for minor requirements on Network Rail infrastructure, provided on an ad-hoc basis. The procurement is classified as survey design services and is a services opportunity. Delivery is identified in London and across the United Kingdom. The framework also included a requirement described as an adhesion modifier for autumn services, alongside surveys and minor designs for distribution and plant. Relevant buyers and users include Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, with Transport for London also listed among the buying organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, using a framework agreement and electronic auction. The lot was cancelled, but four active awards were recorded against it: LNT Solutions Ltd, Gateway Construction Services Limited, Scott Parnell Limited and AGH Engineering Limited. The awards were made on 16 January 2025, 15 July 2025 and 20 July 2026. Contract values are £6,435,000 for LNT Solutions, £3,025,000 each for Gateway Construction Services and Scott Parnell, and £4,000,000 for AGH Engineering. Contracts were signed on those same dates. Evaluation covered commercial quality at 60%, technical quality at 40% and price at 60%.

This procurement shows established demand for specialist survey and design support on railway infrastructure, particularly distribution and plant requirements delivered through Works Delivery teams. A credible future competitor would need the professional competence to produce assured designs and associated surveys for minor schemes, and the capacity to respond to requirements on an ad-hoc basis. Registration with the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme was the first qualification stage, so relevant suppliers should be prepared to meet RISQS requirements. The awarded supplier group included several small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by capable specialist firms as well as larger organisations. Experience of railway infrastructure and the ability to participate in written and electronic procurement processes would be relevant.
