UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a sub-central government public authority, was in the planning stage for a procurement tender titled "Oxford Station Phase 2D - Pipeline Notice." The tender, initially published on 26th September 2025, involved construction work at Oxford Railway Station, focusing on platform and bridge works, with potential additional design and build scope. The contracting process employed a competitive flexible procedure under the main procurement category of works with an estimated gross value of £48 million. The procurement process was established under the NEC4 NR24 terms and conditions with a target cost method, and was planned to start on 26th October 2026, concluding on 31st December 2028. This project, despite reaching the planning stage, was terminated in early 2026, with future procurement activities to be managed through Network Rail’s internal framework agreements.

The procurement process initially offered substantial business growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the construction industry, with suitability for SMEs and VCSEs highlighted. These businesses could have benefitted from the chance to participate in significant infrastructure improvement projects at Oxford Railway Station. Though the tender was cancelled, the requirement for these works remains, suggesting future opportunities through Network Rail's internal frameworks. Hence, companies focusing on construction and infrastructure, particularly those adept in competitive flexible procurement processes, should stay informed about developments in Network Rail’s project plans and framework agreements for potential forthcoming opportunities.
