Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has awarded a contract for the "Maintenance and renewal of current lifts, escalators and moving walkways" across the NRHS portfolio, with Schindler Limited as the successful supplier. The procurement falls under the construction work industry category and covers locations across the UK. Having progressed through the 'awardUpdate' and 'contractUpdate' stages, the contract was originally signed on 23 July 2021, with a subsequent extension to ensure continued delivery of maintenance services vital for safety-critical operations. The procurement method employed was a negotiated procedure with prior competition, reflecting the selective nature of the tender process and the importance of maintaining operational stability across railway stations.

This contract offers substantial business growth opportunities for large enterprises, particularly those specialising in construction and maintenance services for lift and escalator systems. The extension allows for continued trade over a duration of 2520 days, with a significant contract value reaching £20 million. Businesses equipped to efficiently manage large-scale maintenance programmes and refurbishments could strategically position themselves as essential partners in railway infrastructure improvement efforts. By ensuring safety-critical operations remain uninterrupted, these firms can solidify their foothold and demonstrate expertise in servicing extensive public infrastructure assets.

The modification does not introduce new categories of services or materially change the technical requirements, performance regime or commercial structure of the Framework Agreement. The extension provides for the continued delivery of the same maintenance and associated services over an extended period to ensure continuity of safety-critical operations. The Framework Agreement is intended to support the ongoing maintenance of NRHS lift, escalator and moving walkway assets, which may vary over time in line with operational requirements. The extension allows the existing contractual arrangements to continue to apply during the extended term. Other than the extension of duration and the corresponding increase in value arising from the continued provision of the same services, no further modifications are being made. No earlier modifications are relied upon for the purposes of this notice.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: A change of contractor is not feasible following the abandonment of the replacement procurement, which did not result in a viable contract award. No alternative supplier can therefore be appointed within the required timescales. Introducing a new contractor on an interim basis would create unacceptable operational risks for safety-critical assets, disruption to established maintenance regimes and the need for extensive mobilisation and transition activities across live operational stations. A change of contractor would also result in significant inconvenience and duplication of costs, including parallel mobilisation and demobilisation costs, repeated surveys and asset data capture, training and competence assurance, and transition costs, with no corresponding benefit given the short interim duration pending re-procurement."
