## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, aimed at establishing a Steelwork Framework for the supply of construction materials, specifically structural steelwork and related products. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a request for supply chain input to the strategy. The anticipated timeline indicates that a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) is expected to be issued in August 2021, with contract award and mobilisation projected for July 2022. This initiative is set to comply with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and will cover a national delivery location in the UK. The strategic approach is still under development as the existing agreements are set to expire at the end of June 2022.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in steel and construction materials. Companies that are well-suited to compete include suppliers of structural steel and auxiliary construction products, such as insulators, fasteners, and repair clamps. The planned framework is designed to engage with the supply chain to ensure that the best partners are selected, making it an appealing opportunity for businesses that are prepared to contribute their expertise and innovation in these areas. Interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback via a questionnaire, which may influence the final strategy for the procurement process.

Government approval and funding for projects will only be known by the start of Control Period 7 in March 2024.
