## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Network Rail Infrastructure Limited (NR) concerns the design and construction of a new Maintenance Delivery Unit (MDU) in the Leicester area, with a projected value of £5,500,000. Currently in the planning stage, NR has detailed requirements including the provision of land and the construction of a facility to support railway maintenance operations, aiming for completion in early 2023. The preferred site should be located within 2 miles of Leicester station to ensure quick response times, with a subsequent option of sites situated mid-way between Loughborough and Wellingborough if necessary. Interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals by 4th December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction and engineering firms that possess the capability to provide suitable land and construction services. Businesses that specialise in site preparation, civil engineering, and the development of maintenance facilities would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, companies with experience working closely with railway operators are likely to find this a beneficial opportunity to expand their operations within the transport infrastructure sector.

## Notice

NR requires a new MDU facility in the Leicester area, meeting its detailed requirements (as set out in VI.3 of this notice). These requirements include the provision of land, as well as design and build of the new MDU. NR has already carried out an extensive search of sites in the area and has identified only one suitable site. That site is located in Fleckney and NR has engaged in provisional discussions with the relevant interest-holder in that site concerning an agreement under a land purchase and subsequent design and build contract for the provision of the MDU. This notice is being published in case any alternative sites are available, and as an opportunity for interested persons (able to contribute the land and deliver the MDU) to raise interest. To enable NR to proceed efficiently to deliver the new MDU, interested persons should contact NR (at the email address stated at I.1 of this notice) no later than 4th December 2021.
