Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (NR) concerns the design and construction of a new Maintenance Delivery Unit (MDU) in the Leicester area, with a projected value of £5,500,000. Currently in the planning stage, NR has detailed requirements including the provision of land and the construction of a facility to support railway maintenance operations, aiming for completion in early 2023. The preferred site should be located within 2 miles of Leicester station to ensure quick response times, with a subsequent option of sites situated mid-way between Loughborough and Wellingborough if necessary. Interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals by 4th December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction and engineering firms that possess the capability to provide suitable land and construction services. Businesses that specialise in site preparation, civil engineering, and the development of maintenance facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies with experience working closely with railway operators are likely to find this a beneficial opportunity to expand their operations within the transport infrastructure sector.

    "description": "This notice is not a call for competition, and NR will determine the appropriate procurement route having considered the responses (if any) to this notice. The publication of this notice does not constitute any level of confirmation or commitment by NR as to whether or not (or how) it will procure the provision of the required new MDU. The estimated date of publication of contract notice in II.3 is therefore entirely provisional and completed only because it is a mandatory field for this notice, and is not a commitment by NR to publish a contract notice or to otherwise advertise, or run, any competitive procurement process. NR welcomes responses to this notice from interested persons provided that those persons are able to deliver a new MDU in compliance with the requirements set out below and contribute the land on which the MDU will be built. Please note that provision of a suitable site is a central element of NR's requirements. While NR appreciates that persons may be interested in performing the design and / or building the new MDU, this will not meet NR's requirements unless that person is also able to bring forward a site in a suitable location. Any response should provide details of how NR's requirements would be met. NR's requirements are: - Provision of a new Leicester MDU. Premises to be used as the base for planning and implementing the maintenance of the operational railway in an area stretching from Loughborough to Wellingborough. - Supply of a site and then design to meet the accommodation requirements detailed below, planning and construction under terms to be agreed with NR (which could include a forward-funding structure) - The preferred location is within 2 miles of Leicester station as this enables quick response times to get to key rail infrastructure in the station area that may need maintaining. It also widens the choice of transport to the MDU by rail users. If not feasible then the next preference is a site located approximately mid-way between Loughborough and Wellingborough (due to the operational area to be covered by the new MDU, which extends between those two locations) but as close to Leicester station as feasible due to the reasons above. - The A6 road provides the main artery for road access to the Midland Main Line rail network south of Leicester station. Therefore, a site that has a good road connection to the A6 is preferred as this will reduce response times for getting to the rail network for maintenance works. - The new MDU is to be completed and open for use in early 2023 - Building of approx. 800 sq.m to house 32 desks, meeting rooms, break out areas, meeting rooms, workshop space , lockers and messing/kitchen facilities for c110 staff (M/F), showers, drying rooms, gym, drawing room and archive store. - Stores building and associated racking - c350 sq.m - Open storage area of 700 sq.m. and 100 sq.m of secure external storage - Parking for 85 cars, 20 vans and 1 lorry. - BREEAM status of very good",
