The work covers inspecting and assessing operational property assets, reporting on their condition and managing inspection findings to support statutory compliance, asset condition monitoring and maintenance planning. The requirement is for building inspection and related building services consultancy. The framework will have up to two suppliers, and prices are based on rates submitted during the tender process. The services must be delivered to the specification, service requirements and performance standards set out for the framework. This is a utilities procurement by Network Rail. Network Rail invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with a supplier questionnaire stage to assess participation conditions followed by an invitation-to-tender stage for shortlisted suppliers. The single lot has an estimated value of £36 million excluding VAT (£43.2 million including VAT). Enquiries were due by 6 November 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions by 12 November 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2031, with yearly extensions available up to 30 April 2035. The buyer expected to decide on the award by 23 April 2027. Evaluation is weighted equally: technical quality is 50% and commercial price is 50%. This opportunity suits suppliers with experience inspecting and assessing operational property, producing condition reports and managing findings in ways that support compliance, monitoring and maintenance planning. Network Rail has indicated that small and medium-sized businesses are suitable participants. Suppliers must pass a financial health check and hold the RICCL codes listed in the participation instructions by the time of award. The framework calls for suitably qualified providers able to meet the specified service requirements and performance standards across Network Rail’s estate. It is a substantial, multi-year requirement delivered through a framework with up to two providers, so bidders should be equipped to provide the required inspection service at estate-wide scale and submit rates for their services. ## Notice Network Rail intends to procure a framework for the provision of Operational Property Inspection (OPI) services across its estate. The services will include the inspection, assessment, reporting and management of operational property assets to support statutory compliance, asset condition monitoring and maintenance planning. The framework will be delivered by suitably qualified suppliers in accordance with the specification, service requirements and performance standards set out in the procurement documents. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Yearly extensions in the form of 1 + 1 + 1+ 1 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096594-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 May 2027 - 30 Apr 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £36,000,000 | | Lots value | £36,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8SW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Waterloo & South Bank | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71315000 - Building services - 71315210 - Building services consultancy services - 71315400 - Building-inspection services ## Release History - 13 Oct 2026 at 14:28 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096594-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096594-2026 13th October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.htmlproject_47278-OperationalPropertyInspectionsFramework - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.networkrail.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
