Description

Network Rail (NR) is responsible for maintaining, developing and operating Great Britain's (GB) railway infrastructure. NR is an arm's length government owned company, whose capital investments are constrained by, and contribute to, the Public Sector Borrowing Requirement. NR needs to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its capital spend programmes. NR intends to establish a national Train Control System Frameworks (TCS Frameworks) for the delivery of major train control works and renewals to be delivered on the existing rail network comprising two lots: Lot 1: TCS Framework - Conventional: Conventional signalling (either conventional or related technologies). Framework Suppliers will be required to provide a range of works and/or services covering design and build. Lot 2: TCS Framework - Digital: Digital signalling (either ETCS or related technologies). Framework Suppliers will be required to provide a range of works and/or services covering design, build and ETCS maintenance support. The TCS Frameworks are intended to have a duration of 10-years with an estimated value of approximately £4bn across both Lots. NR will be hosting a virtual supplier event at 10:30am on Friday 10th March 2023. It is intended that the Contract Notice and associated procurement documents for the TCS Frameworks will be published on or shortly after 10th March 2023. If you are interested in joining the event to find out more information, please email: drtsprocurement@networkrail.co.uk by 5pm Thursday 09th March Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional relates to conventional signalling (either conventional or related technologies). Framework Suppliers will be required to provide a range of works and/or services covering design and build.
