This engagement session is a key opportunity for suppliers to gain insight into the framework's scope, which will cover the four Lots which are Human & Animal Fatalities, Pest Management, Waste & Fly Tipping Clearance and Pollution Control. As we shape the next iteration of the framework, we are keen to engage with the market, understand supplier capabilities, and explore innovations that can drive efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Join us virtually to learn more about the procurement approach and how you can be part of this essential framework supporting Network Rail Operations. The Environmental Service Framework will be a key contract in ensuring that the operational railway can be opened quickly following human or animal fatalities on or near the line as well as dealing with pollution spills on or near the infrastructure. The pest control is essential for ensuring Network Rail’s lineside operational buildings remain open and operational whilst ensuring the safety of the staff using those buildings (such as signal boxes, ROC’s etc). Fly tipping is also major issue on the infrastructure and requires a contractor who can react quickly and has all the relevant accreditations such as waste transfer licence and experience in hazardous materials etc. To register for the event - please can you email danny.samuels@networkrail.co.uk by 17:00 on 02/04/2026, after this date you will be issued the scope of services to help you complete the questionnaire (see link below).
