Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has awarded the W&W Reactive & Minor Works (RMW) Framework contracts for the Wales & Western region. This framework covers the reactive and emergency works as well as project-based works for buildings and civil assets. The framework is divided into four lots, namely Western RMW Civils, Wales RMW Civils, Western RMW Buildings, and Wales RMW Buildings, with a total estimated spend value of £750,000,000. This framework will run for five years with the possibility of extending for an additional three years in one-year increments. The contracts were signed on 31 March 2025 for a duration of five years, covering locations across the UK and relevant to the construction industry.

This procurement provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and infrastructure maintenance. The framework includes large contracts, with values of £262,000,000 and £225,000,000 for Western region tasks and £150,000,000 and £112,000,000 for Wales region tasks, awarded to established firms such as Balfour Beatty Rail Ltd, Dyer & Butler, JSS Rail Limited, and MPH Construction Ltd. Companies with expertise in reactive maintenance, civil engineering, and building works in the railway sector are well-suited to compete in future opportunities within this framework. This also presents an opportunity for suppliers to collaborate with Network Rail and regional train and freight operating companies, ensuring a steady pipeline of projects and long-term work relationships. The framework allows for a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, ensuring a selective procurement process geared towards high-quality and cost-effective solutions.
