## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has announced the inception of a framework agreement for reactive and small-scale construction works related to their civil and building assets within the Eastern Region of the UK. The framework, titled "Eastern Region - Reactive and Small Schemes Framework," is set to span an initial term of five years, with provisions for two one-year extensions. This procurement process, currently in the award stage and scheduled for completion by 31st March 2025, falls under the works category within the construction industry. The total estimated contract value is £1,146,851,865.05, covering various types of emergency and planned maintenance works across four lots: Civil Assets (North & East, East Coast, and East Midlands), Civil Assets (Anglia), Building Assets (North & East, East Coast, and East Midlands), and Building Assets (Anglia). The framework is part of Network Rail's strategic business plan under Control Period 7 (CP7) and aims to ensure supply chain resilience by allowing suppliers to work within their specialisations across the defined geographical scopes.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in construction, maintenance, and engineering services, particularly those with capabilities in reactive and preventative maintenance, geotechnical engineering, and structural integrity works. With a competitive procedure involving negotiations focused primarily on price, the framework seeks to engage multiple suppliers to cover diverse and extensive maintenance needs. Preferred suppliers will be those holding or applying for a Network Rail Principal Contractors Licence, and businesses from SMEs to large enterprises stand to benefit. The extensive range of works required under this framework, including emergency call-outs, scheduled maintenance, and non-complex new build projects, offers ample opportunities for firms to secure contracts and contribute to the sustained and safe operation of Network Rail's infrastructure assets.

## Notice

Network Rail procured a framework for Reactive and Small Scheme works covering its building and civil assets within the Eastern Region. The types of works to be procured under the framework will be reactive works and small schemes that are of low complexity. Such works predominately impact the operation of the railway and will cover the following categories of works: Reactive call outs (Emergency & Urgent) Planned Preventative Maintenance works (PPM) Small schemes The Reactive and Small Schemes framework is envisaged to be the Eastern Region's route to market to deliver such projects and requirements under NR's Strategic Business Plan during CP7. The framework will be lotted as outlined below covering the geographical scope of the Eastern Region (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-regions/eastern/): Lot 1 - Civil Assets (Covering North & East, East Coast and East Midlands Routes) Lot 2 - Civil Assets (Covering Anglia Route) Lot 3 - Building Assets (Covering North & East, East Coast and East Midlands Routes) Lot 4 - Building Assets (Covering Anglia Route) To ensure supply chain resilience NR will retain the flexibility to allow Suppliers to work across Lots but only restricted to their specific discipline. This will only apply in instances where it has been deemed by NR that Suppliers within the relevant Lot under the same discipline cannot fulfil Network Rail's requirement(s). The initial term of the framework is 5 years with the option to extend for a further two periods of one year each. The indicative values provided for each of the Lots are estimates only, these are based on CP7 Strategic Business Plan budgets rather than delivery plan values. As such, they are not guaranteed and do not act as a minimum or maximum workbank value for the control period or a volume guarantee. The maximum value of the framework exceeds the combined value of the lots, this is so as the value is inclusive of the estimated values of optional extensions for the framework. Examples of work types to be covered and delivered under the scope of the framework include (but are not limited to): o Geotechnical - small scheme emerging works (from reactive), Maintain KVLs o Maintenance of foot bridges, under bridges, overbridges, tunnels, culverts, structural integrity o Rock cuttings, soil cuttings, earthworks first response etc o Buildings - small scheme emerging works (from reactive) o Structures - small scheme emerging works (from reactive), Structural integrity Negotiations to be conducted as part of the tender process will relate to the price element only. Participants will have an opportunity to update the pricing elements of their tenders following negotiations. Initial Tenders will be evaluated but feedback will not be shared with participants. Only feedback on Final Tenders will be shared following completion of evaluation of the tenders.
