UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited is seeking contractors for a framework covering high-voltage and low-voltage electrical equipment works and repairs. The scope includes design, renewal, repair, refurbishment, installation, testing and commissioning, with particular emphasis on correcting faults in high- and low-voltage systems. Contractors will provide the labour, materials and plant required to deliver the work. The requirement covers various Network Rail sites within the North West and Central region of England. The main category is construction and electrical installation work, including low-voltage installation and related equipment works. The framework is intended for suppliers able to support both planned asset work and reactive repairs across the relevant rail infrastructure sites.

The process has reached tender: Network Rail invited offers using an open competitive flexible procedure. It is a closed framework with contracts awarded through mini-competitions, with rates submitted in the tender acting as maximum prices. Enquiries had to be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 6 November 2026. The framework value is £13.6 million excluding VAT, or £16.32 million including VAT. The contract period is 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2032, with extensions of one year, one year and one year permitted, subject to funding, up to 30 April 2035. Offers are evaluated on technical quality at 60% and commercial price at 40%.

This opportunity suits specialist electrical contractors with experience in rail, infrastructure or comparable high-voltage and low-voltage environments. Suppliers must be registered against all four required capability codes: low-voltage switchgear design; low-voltage distribution cabling and installation; high-voltage transformer maintenance; and high-voltage cabling and commissioning. The work calls for organisations able to design, repair, refurbish, install, test and commission electrical equipment, as well as diagnose and rectify faults. Competitors should have sufficient labour, materials, plant and operational capacity to deliver work at multiple sites and respond to varied work packages. Strong technical competence is particularly important because quality carries greater weighting than price in evaluation.
