## Summary

Northumberland County Council (NCC) has launched a Framework Agreement for the NCC528 Northumberland Line Stations Construction Project, currently in the award stage. This procurement involves the construction of six stations and related infrastructure in Northumberland, spanning locations from Ashington to Northumberland Park. The framework, initiated under a selective procurement method, is designed to appoint two contractors: a primary contractor, Morgan Sindall Ltd, and a reserve contractor, BAM Nuttall. The call-off contracts will be allocated directly to the primary contractor, with the contract period starting on 1 August 2021 and running until 31 July 2025. The tender process concluded on 15 April 2021, emphasising quality (60%) and price (40%) in the selection criteria.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction and civil engineering companies looking to expand their operations in the public sector. Businesses experienced in large-scale infrastructure projects, particularly those familiar with NEC4 contracts, would be well-suited to compete for work associated with this Framework Agreement. The successful execution of this project could lead to further partnerships and contracts within the growing transport infrastructure sector in the UK.
