Southern Region Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework

Tender description

Network Rail Southern Region intends to establish a single Minor Works Buildings and Civils Framework (MWF-B&C) that aligns with Network Rail’s requirements of prompt and efficient delivery of the CP7 and CP8 work banks, as well as rationalising several route-based frameworks into one Regional Framework, thus providing regional consistency on how this work is managed. Once established, it is intended that the MWF-B&C will maximise productivity and efficiency through the use of modern methods of working, technology, collaboration, and relationship focused contracting. The proposed commercial model has been designed to support this intent. Whilst the primary focus of the MWF-B&C will be unplanned, planned and cyclical maintenance works, there will also be the option where deemed appropriate for the delivery of non-complex, low value renewal projects. The contracting strategy is to appoint 16 Delivery Partners under nine Lots that are aligned to disciplines and sub discipline work types. There will be two Generalist Lots, one covering Buildings (Lot 1) and one covering Civils (Lot 5), primarily aimed at delivering the unplanned (reactive) works, but with scope included to also deliver planned maintenance and project works. There will also be three specialist Buildings Lots (Lots 2 to 4) and four specialist Civils Lots (Lots 6 to 9) aimed at delivering the cyclical, planned maintenance and project works. The number of Delivery Partners to be appointed to each Lot is detailed in the Instructions to Participants, which can be found in the procurement documents.
