Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work

Tender description

This supplier engagement update and Request for Information (RFI) is to support the Western Rail Link to Heathrow (WRLtH) Commercial Strategy Review. Following on from last year’s supplier engagement workshop, we are reviewing whether our strategy is appropriate in view of current market conditions. The RFI will focus on how the market views the proposed procurement strategy, the capacity and capability in the market and potential bidding models to deliver the work packages. Your feedback will help inform Network Rail how best to deliver potential procurement events in the future. Should you be interested in completing this request for information, the deadline is the 9 October 2020, 17.00 (UK time). For any queries regarding the above, please contact simon.mcclune@networkrail.co.uk The proposed main contract structure of the programme will be based on three discrete packages of work where the design and construction of each package can be completed largely in isolation of the other packages. The first package will consist of works to construct the Rail Intersection Bridge (RIB) underneath the GWML and will include all civil engineering, track, OLE and associated works to create both the bridge and the new rail junction with the GWML. The second package will consist of the works to construct two tunnels into T5 and will include the procurement and operation of the tunnel boring machines. The third package will consist of the fit-out of the tunnel section, including track, OLE, ventilation, etc.
