## Summary

The procurement process is being conducted by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd for the project titled "CP7 Eastern Region Renewals and Minor Enhancements," primarily in the construction industry. The tender is currently in the active stage with submissions due by 13th May 2022. The procurement encompasses various regions including Anglia, East Coast, East Midlands, and North & East routes in the UK. The overall estimated value of the framework is between £3.5 billion and £4 billion, and it aims to appoint multiple construction partners across five key lots with a project duration of up to ten years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for construction companies, especially those experienced in rail services, civil engineering, and integrated multi-discipline projects. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions in productivity, sustainability, and collaborative approaches could thrive in this competitive bidding environment. Companies interested in participating should prepare their submissions to meet the rigorous selection criteria set by Network Rail, which emphasises strategic alignment, capability, and economic stability.

## Notice

Network Rail propose to procure renewals and minor enhancement adopting an integrated multi-discipline rail system approach that is flexible with a focus on productivity and passenger outcomes. Network Rail has set 5 strategic focus areas - a railway system approach; capabilities; productivity; collaborative behaviours; and sustainability. All these focus areas support the Agile Client Eastern (ACE) Capital Delivery operating model. Further information on the ACE operating model can be found within the Procurement Documents. Two Partnerships (North/South) will be created in the Eastern region. Key to their success will be aligned objectives and collaborative behaviours, where Network Rail will create competitive tension and adopt an incentivisation mechanism that will drive enhanced performance whilst fostering a culture of continuous improvement, quality driven outputs and delivering innovative solutions. The partners can undertake works and/or services in relation to the scope of their Lot and in addition undertake those works as part of Work Orders led by other partners. For example, the Structures, Geotechnics and Buildings partner can undertake the Structures, Geotechnics and Buildings works associated with a Signalling or OLE Works Order. In addition, where it provides value for money to do so for Network Rail, the partner may undertake works that are reasonably necessary to be supplied or installed contemporaneously with the Work Order. This could include but is not limited to the adjustment of Overhead Lines or track when undertaking a bridge replacement by a Lot 1 or 2 Structures, Geotechnics and Buildings partner. The Framework terms and conditions will provide NR with the flexibility to request partners to undertake CP7 work bank projects in both the North and South partnership regions. Network Rail is looking to appoint 14 construction partners to deliver the CP7 renewals and minor enhancement works across the Eastern Region. In addition, 5 secondary suppliers will also be appointed per Lot who sits outside the partnership. The partners will be appointed across 5 Lots as follows:- Lot 1 Structures, Geotechnics & Buildings (North): 3 partners plus 1 secondary supplier Lot 2 Structures, Geotechnics & Buildings (South): 3 partners plus 1 secondary supplier Lot 3 Signalling and Telecoms North & South: 4 partners (2 per partnership region) plus 1 secondary supplier Lot 4 Electrification & Power - Contact Systems North & South: 2 partners (1 per partnership region) plus 1 secondary supplier Lot 5 Electrification & Power - Distribution and Plant North & South: 2 partners (1 per partnership region) plus 1 secondary supplier The partners will be responsible for the design and construction works for the CP7 work bank for their respective Lot. The partners will be appointed via a Framework and a Partnering Agreement. The partners may also be asked to undertake emergency works and services. The Framework duration will be 5 years with an option to extend by a further 5 years with a 4-month mobilisation period and a further period to complete outstanding works. The contract is divided into 5 Lots. Tenders may be submitted for a maximum of 2 Lots. The estimated total value of the Framework will be within the range of PS3,500,000,000 to PS4,000,000,000 for the 10-year duration.
