Notice Title

Electricity Distributors Network Supplier Framework

Notice Description

Network Rail (NR) owns, operates and develops Britain's railway infrastructure. That is 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We manage 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are managed by the country's train operating companies. NR are undertaking a Decarbonisation/ Energy Efficiency Programme across a range of assets in all UK Regions. This project is part of the Decarbonisation Programme aimed at supporting NR to meet its targets for zero carbon emissions as part of the Government's Road to Zero strategy. The NR Targets * Net Zero by 2050 (2045 in Scotland) - Government declared Climate Emergency * 40% Carbon reduction in the next five years. To help meet these targets NR aim to set up a framework agreement with electricity distributors network suppliers. NR has a large portfolio of sites that will require various power capacity upgrades or connections to achieve its net zero targets. Feasibility studies are currently being carried out and various sites have been identified which may require an upgrade to accommodate the additional power requirements for charging EV vehicles, transition from gas use to electric or to enable the connection of renewables. Works will be procured on a site-by-site basis. Detailed documents indicating the extent of the Works, performance requirements and technical standards for each call off will be developed by NR Engineers. Our objective is to establish a framework with suppliers capable of delivering contestable works across the electricity distribution network for the delivery of power upgrades in line with NR project management governance, namely PACE phases 2-4 (delivery programme). Interested suppliers should register at https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/ and register an interest in pqq_3400 and itt_16662. Suppliers must register for both PQQ and ITT and respond to both.
