What is being bought

Network Rail has awarded national Framework Agreements for the provision of Track Bed Investigations for England & Wales, and for Scotland. The framework scope includes standard and deep track bed investigations, concrete coring and various drainage surveys, which are used for the design and specification of the trackbed for track renewals. The framework is specific to the Engineering Services Design Delivery function in Network Rail. The workbank comes from client teams in the Network Rail regions who will call-off from the framework when track bed investigations are required. Due to the work-related nature of these activities, the framework terms & conditions are based on the NR29 Framework Contract for Network Rail Amended NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract. The framework will run for an initial period of five years, and Network Rail will have the option to extend for two further one-year periods, providing the flexibility for a five, six or seven year framework duration.

Lot details

Track Bed Investigation Framework - England & Wales

The specification for the Track Bed Investigation Framework covers the following track bed investigation and associated works, and site & factual reporting which are to be provided for track sites in England & Wales: Standard Track Bed Investigation: • Determining the condition of the existing track bed and sub-grade • Assessing the condition of the existing lineside drainage. • Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) to determine the soil structural properties. • Trial trenches to determine drainage paths and lateral variation of track bed materials. • Categorising of Spent Ballast for disposal • Measuring structural constraints (clearances) to support the construction phase and compliance with COM Regulations 2015 (Design Risk Register) to determine construction risks and mitigations. Deep Track Bed Investigation • Deeper window sampling and Standard Penetration Test (SPT) using heavy probing techniques for investigating Track Bed Stabilisation sites. Additional Works and Other Investigation Techniques • Stiffness Measurement surveys using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), and Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD). • Drainage level surveys/topographical surveys to support the design track of drainage systems. • Concrete coring of slab track or other associated foundations • Material testing • Rail and sleeper deflection monitoring using cameras, Geophones or similar.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Railway-track inspection services (71631470); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 717,3114 median · 30.6 average (2,718 of 7,311 with a bid count)4.1 average (3,010 of 7,311 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UKC3515 median · 78.9 average (116 of 351 with a bid count)9 average (136 of 351 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "This Contract Notice relates to F01: Prior information notice (prior information only) Notice reference: 2024/S 000-003733 Published 5 February 2024, 3:46pm.\nNetwork Rail currently has a national Framework Agreement for the provision of Track Bed Investigations which will be re-tendered to satisfy business needs. \nThe framework scope will include standard and deep track bed investigations, concrete coring and various drainage surveys, which are used for the design and specification of the trackbed for track renewals. \nThe framework will be specific to the Engineering Services Design Delivery function in Network Rail. The workbank comes from client teams in the Network Rail regions who will call-off from the framework when track bed investigations are required.\nDue to the work-related nature of these activities, the framework terms & conditions will be based on the NR29 Framework Contract for Network Rail Amended NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract.\nThe framework will run for an initial period of five years, and Network Rail will have the option to extend for two further one-year periods, providing the flexibility for a five, six or seven year framework duration. \nThe tender will be split into two lots as follows; lot 1 will be for track bed investigations in England & Wales, and lot 2 will be for those in Scotland. Based on historic usage we estimate that lot 1 will account for approximately 90% of demand and lot 2 the remaining 10%. \nNo more than one supplier will be awarded a framework for each lot, however one supplier could win both lots, or two suppliers could win a lot each. \nNetwork Rail will undertake a pre-qualification stage which will down select to a shortlist of Candidates that shall be invited to tender. \nIf you would like to take part in this Procurement Event then please send an email referencing this Contract Notice to philip.hunt@networkrail.co.uk no later than 12:00 on Friday 26th July 2024. \nThe Pre-Qualification Questionnaire, which will contain all of the Procurement Documents, is being finalised and will be issued as soon as possible in the week commencing 22/07/2024 to any candidate that requests participation prior to the deadline as above, and you can start working on this upon receipt. \nA summary of key timeline events is as follows:\nDeadline to respond to this Contract Notice - 12:00 26/07/2024\nDeadline to respond to the Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) - 06/09/2024\nInvitation to Tender (ITT) issue date - 28/11/2024\nDeadline to respond to ITT - 23/01/2025\nContract Award Decision - 12/06/2025\nContract Commencement - 17/07/2025",
