Technical requirements: IP-SNE has carried out a procurement event to engage three (3) contractors in the delivery of structures renewals, buildings and enhancements works, primarily across the Scotland and North East Region, which is divided into the Scotland, LNE and EM routes. The procurement was awarded under a nil value NR13C Framework Commission Agreement separated into 3 lots. Each lot shall include the opportunity for the re opening of competition between the framework suppliers in respect of works within the scope of the framework which are not directly awarded to a framework supplier.
Lot 1 has a focus on multi-discipline enhancements, buildings and structures works across the Scotland, LNE and EM Routes. It has an initial indicative value over the effective life of the framework of Three Hundred and Twenty Million Pounds (320 000 000 GBP). The maximum value of works which may be awarded to the Lot 1 Supplier is 950 000 000 GBP. In exceptional circumstances, including but not limited to, the insolvency of a framework supplier or termination of a framework contract for one of the other lots, NR may award further works (i.e. works with a value beyond 950 000 000 GBP) provided that the total framework value of 1900 000 000 GBP is not exceeded.
Each workbank shall be reviewed at least annually or more frequently if required. During the term of the framework, network rail may amend the workbank for each lot by adding or removing works of a similar size, type and complexity to those set out in the initial indicative workbank for the particular lot. Each framework contract shall contain provision for the re-opening of competition between the framework suppliers in respect of contracts within the scope of this framework which are not allocated to a workbank.
There is the possibility of EU funded projects through the life of the Framework with none in current contemplation.
Lot 2 has a focus on structures works predominantly across the Scotland Route with a requirement to deliver enhancements and buildings. Tenderers must be able to deliver the required work types across the whole of the territory described in the procurement documents and in addition must be capable of delivering specific schemes in the LNE and EM region. Lot Two has an initial indicative value over the effective life of the framework of One Hundred and Thirty Five Million pounds (135 000 000 GBP). The maximum value of works which may be awarded to the Lot 2 Supplier is 450 000 000 GBP. In exceptional circumstances, including but not limited to, the insolvency of a framework supplier or termination of a framework contract for one of the other lots, NR may award further works (i.e. works with a value beyond 450 000 000 GBP) to the Lot 2 supplier, provided that the total framework value of 1 900 000 000 GBP is not exceeded.
Each workbank shall be reviewed at least annually or more frequently if required.
