## Summary

Network Rail Southern Region is establishing a Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework to efficiently deliver CP7 and CP8 work banks. The framework aims to improve productivity through modern methods and collaboration. The procurement will appoint 16 Delivery Partners under nine Lots to handle various maintenance and project works in the Southern Region. The estimated total value of the framework is around £1.13 billion - £1.69 billion across all lots. The tender period ends on 21st March 2023, and opportunities for business growth lie in delivering maintenance and project works within this framework.

This procurement by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd provides opportunities for businesses well-equipped to handle building and civil works in the railway sector. With a focus on planned and cyclical maintenance works, as well as project deliveries, businesses can compete for contracts across nine Lots that cover different work types. The procurement aims to increase competition and encourages SME participation by setting specific rules for application submissions. It also includes a contracting strategy that aligns with Network Rail's long-term regional consistency goals in the Southern Region.

## Notice

Network Rail Southern Region intends to establish a single Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework (MWF-B&C) that aligns with Network Rail's requirements of prompt and efficient delivery of the CP7 and CP8 work banks, as well as rationalising several route-based frameworks into one Regional Framework, thus providing regional consistency on how this work is managed. Once established, it is intended that the MWF-B&C will maximise productivity and efficiency through the use of modern methods of working, technology, collaboration, and relationship focused contracting. The proposed commercial model has been designed to support this intent. Whilst the primary focus of the MWF-B&C will be unplanned, planned and cyclical maintenance works, there will also be the option where deemed appropriate for the delivery of non-complex, low value renewal projects. The contracting strategy is to appoint 16 Delivery Partners under nine Lots that are aligned to disciplines and sub discipline work types. There will be two Generalist Lots, one covering Buildings (Lot 1) and one covering Civils (Lot 5), primarily aimed at delivering the unplanned (reactive) works, but with scope included to also deliver planned maintenance and project works. There will also be three specialist Buildings Lots (Lots 2 to 4) and four specialist Civils Lots (Lots 6 to 9) aimed at delivering the cyclical, planned maintenance and project works. The number of Delivery Partners to be appointed to each Lot is detailed in the Instructions to Participants, which can be found in the procurement documents.
