Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd (NR) has successfully concluded the procurement process for the Eastern Routes Partnership (ERP) framework. The initiative, focusing on construction work within the rail sector, is central to NR’s Strategic Business Plan (SBP) for the Eastern Region. The ERP encompasses a broad array of works, including structural, geotechnical, signalling, telecoms, and distribution projects across various lots such as Generalist Buildings & Civils, Specialist Structures, and more. The ERP initially covers a 5-year period with potential yearly extensions up to an additional 5 years. The latest contract awards were finalised on 6th September 2024. Key suppliers include Amalgamated Construction Ltd, BAM Nuttall Ltd, Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd, and others, highlighting a collaborative procurement approach using a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition.

The ERP framework offers significant growth opportunities for a diverse range of businesses, particularly those with expertise in complex civil engineering, structural works, signalling, and telecom systems. SMEs and new entrants are actively encouraged to participate, especially in specialised lots, ensuring innovation and competitive pricing. The partnership includes mechanisms like a pain-gain incentive, which rewards efficiency, making it ideal for businesses capable of aligning with NR's collaborative and performance-driven culture. Companies looking to leverage their expertise in rail construction, electrical and mechanical works, and advanced geotechnical engineering will find ample prospects within this framework, helping them secure steady work and contribute to the region's infrastructural enhancements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Network Rail Eastern Routes Partnership Framework

Notice Description

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd (NR) has sought Partners to appoint to the Eastern Routes Partnership (ERP) framework. The ERP is the main route to market for the Eastern Region to support the delivery of projects under NR's Strategic Business Plan (SBP), as well as other projects with a core technical discipline. The geographical scope of the ERP is the Eastern Region. (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-regions/eastern/). The initial term of the ERP is 5 years (plus a 2 month mobilisation) with an option to extend the ERP by yearly increments up to a further 5 years. The ERP comprises two levels: Generalist and Specialist. The process for allocating projects is set out at Section VI.3. NR has actively encouraged SMEs, new entrants and/or discipline experts to participate in the process for the Specialist level. For the Generalist level, NR has engaged suppliers able to take on projects with increased complexity/stakeholder management, which possess the ability to deliver the volumes required against the desired unit rates to deliver the SBP. The values for each Lot are estimates only, based on SBP budgets rather than delivery plan values. As such, they are not guaranteed and do not act as a minimum or maximum workbank value for the control period nor a guarantee as to volume split of work-type. A Partnership Agreement sits alongside the ERP and comprises NR and the Generalist contractors. Specialist contractors may join the Partnership if the ERP is extended beyond the initial 5 years. The core Partnership aims are to: a) create a collaborative environment; b) hold NR and all Partner-contractors to account; and c) undertake the efficiency challenge in delivering the ERP workbank safely. The ERP includes a pain-gain incentive mechanism, based on the difference between the Annual Actual Cost and the Annual Project Target cost. The Annual Project Target Costs are all derived from the Client's budget. A Portfolio Incentivisation Fund will also be set up at a Partnership Level, distributing savings across Partner-contractors.

Supplier briefing event to share indicative plans across the region for future procurement activities and key strategic themes. Whilst there will not be an opportunity to ask questions during the event, please feel free to submit a question in advance which NR may or may not (at its discretion) be able to cover in the briefing. As a reminder, this is not a call for competition.
