Procedure rationaleLancashire County Council, as a contracting authority, intends to award a contract to Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd for the design and construction of a railway station at Cottam Parkway, north west Preston. The project will include a booking and information office, toilets, full accessibility including a footbridge and lifts to link the platforms, car park facility with an estimated 250 spaces, electric charging points, mobility and motorcycle spaces and bicycle storage and a station forecourt area linking to the local highways network. The contract will be placed without prior publication pursuant to The Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102) relying on Regulation 32, specifically Regulation 32(2)(b), that sets out an exclusion to the usual requirement for a public works contract being procured by a contracting authority to conduct a compliant competitive procurement. Lancashire County Council is to make a direct award to Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd based on Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) because it considers competition is absent for technical reasons. The railway infrastructure works are estimated to be of £25.0m value as part of a wider £40m "Transforming Cities Fund" infrastructure scheme where the balance of the highways infrastructure works is being competed for as a public works contract. For the £25m railway infrastructure works, Network Rail, by its nature of being the national infrastructure manager and owner of the railway infrastructure, is required to provide approximately £2m of non-contestable works and, as a result, is the only solution to provide the full railway infrastructure works package (contestable and non-contestable works with the contestable works awarded through Network Rail's own competed framework arrangements) and managing track access/possession on a critical transport asset. It relies on complex project management and liaison with Network Rail in any event. Network Rail are understood to have the capacity, market presence and expertise as market leaders in the rail sector for delivering works similar to Lancashire County Council's requirements with reduced interface risk and a more co-ordinated approach to reduce risk of rail service interruption. Please note that this is a voluntary transparency notice and the contracts have not yet been awarded.
