Summary of the contracting process

The Eastern Region Examinations Contract - Buildings Framework was initiated by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, focusing on building-inspection services across the Eastern Region in the UK. This procurement process, categorised under services, reached the 'award' stage and is now complete. While the procurement method was a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, the framework agreements focused on specific routes, namely the East Coast, North & East, Anglia, and East Midlands. Contracts were awarded on 30th June 2025, with active awards for the South and North segments, each valued at £20,000,000.

This procurement presents numerous growth opportunities for businesses that specialise in building inspection and infrastructure services related to railway assets. Companies with robust technical capabilities and competitive commercial offers would find this tender suitable. Given Network Rail's emphasis on quality, both technical and commercial criteria factored heavily into the selection criteria, alongside price considerations. Businesses that can align their offerings with these needs would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts, further enhancing their presence in the public sector infrastructure domain.
