Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd awarded the Scotland’s Railway Surfacing Framework for railway construction works across Scotland’s Railway. The framework covers inspection, maintenance, repair, partial renewal and full renewal of station platforms, car parks, footpaths, hard standings and other associated client or train operating company property. Activities include surfacing, platform cope works, minor drainage connected with surfacing, minor civil engineering, booking possessions and arranging road closures. The contractor also supports urgent, route-maintenance and programmed responses. The requirement is classified as railway construction works (CPV 45234100). The framework is intended for one contractor and is managed within the Network Rail railway infrastructure environment.

The procurement is complete and was run as a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract was awarded to Complete Paving Requirements (Scotland) Limited on 8 August 2026, with a signed contract valued at £39,000,000 including options and headroom. The framework has no committed spend. It covers four lots: Depots and Lineside, Stations and Non-Lineside Infrastructure, Mechanical and Electrical, and Station Painting; each lot is recorded as cancelled, while the surfacing framework award is active. The framework may run for five years with extensions of up to three years, in one-year periods, giving a maximum duration of eight years. Evaluation used technical and resource, safety, sustainability and social value, and pricing criteria.

This opportunity indicates demand for rail surfacing and associated civil engineering capability across Scotland. Credible future suppliers would need experience working on railway assets, including station platforms, hard standings, car parks, footpaths, drainage and related property, with the ability to undertake both planned renewal and responsive repairs. Operational readiness is important: the requirement included attendance within 24 hours for urgent instructions and within seven days for route maintenance. Suppliers would also need to manage railway possessions and road closures, and demonstrate strong safety, resource planning, sustainability and social value performance. Registration with the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme was the first qualification step. The award also shows that a specialist Scottish paving SME can secure this type of railway framework.
