Notice Information
Notice Title
Scotland's Railway - Provision of Legal Services over 2 years run under the Light Touch Regime.
Notice Description
Network Rail's internal legal team provides strategic and direct support to Scotland's Railway. This is supplemented where appropriate by external legal support from law firms who work with the internal legal team to provide depth and specialist technical advice. Network Rail is seeking to procure two framework suppliers to provide full service external legal support for Scotland's Railway from 1 April 2024 - 31 March 2026. The two successful suppliers will be engaged via an NR1 MT Framework contract. The legal support provided through this framework will help us facilitate the successful delivery of all aspects of Scotland's Railway, with a particular focus on managing risk and achieving the best possible financial outcomes. The indicative value of the agreement is PS750k per year per supplier with a maximum envisaged spend through the framework of PS4m. Candidates will be required to complete and submit mandatory PQQ questions alongside their ITT.
