## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has concluded several framework agreements for Control Period 7 (CP7), covering the period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2029. These frameworks pertain to the delivery of capital works, divided into categories and further subdivided into lots, for the North West & Central Region, which includes the North West Route, Central Route, and West Coast South Route. Notably, the frameworks revolve around civil engineering, buildings, and electrification & plant works, specifically addressing planned, unplanned, and cyclical maintenance requirements. The procurement process for these frameworks concluded successfully on 12th February 2024, awarding contracts under Framework Category D, with detailed scope prescribed for emergency response capabilities, surveys, investigations, design implementations, and inspections, among others. The appointed suppliers include Amalgamated Construction Ltd, QTS Group Ltd, Construction Marine Ltd, J Murphy & Sons, CK Rail Solutions Ltd, and JSS Rail Limited, serving different sub-lots and geographical areas within the North West & Central Region.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in construction, civil engineering, and building maintenance. The contracts, owing to their extensive scope covering emergency response, design services, and inspection actions, invite businesses that can deliver on varied construction, maintenance, and technical service requirements essential to maintaining railway infrastructure’s safety and operability. Companies with capabilities in engineering design services, demolition, possession bookings, statutory consents, and plant hire services are particularly well-suited for these opportunities. The contracts span over three years, extendable by two years subject to performance, thus ensuring an ongoing supply of work across the tenure. Consequently, businesses participating can achieve significant growth through sustained projects and engagements with Network Rail.

### Procurement Information

This notice provides an update to the value of the Framework Category D service agreements entered into by the Participants. Each Participant is a party to a separate agreement with Network Rail which is entered into in accordance with the terms of the originally advertised scope. As part of the original competitive procurement process the Contract Notice stated that the Category D frameworks relate to the delivery of "minor and reactive works" each with a value up to 100k GBP. The estimated total value of the framework was 229,000,000 GBP. The procurement documents made clear that the initial detail provided of the value was an estimation only . The full scope and extent of the relationships between the Participants was clearly detailed in the Contract Notice and in the accompanying procurement documents, and was not linked to or to any extent constrained by the indicative cumulative estimates of value provided. The Contract Award Notice also noted that the estimated total value was based on Network Rail's current forecast of future spend under the frameworks. The Contract Award Notice noted that the values are Network Rail's best estimate based on currently available information, and in particular that any third party spend is not certain at the stage the Contract Award Notice was published. The Contract Award Notice also noted that the final value of the frameworks may be higher or lower. Given the nature of the works required under Framework Category D, and as envisaged by the original procurement documents, the estimated individual value set out in the Contract Notice has to be increased, and so, in the interests of transparency Network Rail publish this voluntary ex ante transparency ("VEAT") notice. Network Rail intend to increase the overall value of the contracts awarded under Framework Category D; and The individual value for each contract awarded under Framework Category D will be subject to a new limit of 300k GBP. It is also currently anticipated that the total value of the procurement (excluding VAT) for the remainder of the initial term of 3 years and optional 2 years' extension per contract may increase to 242,348,077.00 GBP.
