    "description": "The purpose of this Framework is for the provision of sustainability services throughout the Eastern region, applicable to all railway infrastructure, projects, and operations, providing rapid, compliant access to specialist professional services, technical support, assurance, modelling, surveys, audits, and project delivery expertise.\nIt is proposed that the Framework will appoint suppliers to deliver specialist advisory and technical support across key sustainability disciplines. The Framework will provide scalable access to specialist expertise, enabling the delivery of advisory and technical services required to support complex railway programmes.  \nPlease note, the final structure of the Framework is yet to be confirmed, however, it is likely to be split into 4 Lots:\n1. Energy & Carbon\n2. Environmental Management\n3. Ecology & Biodiversity\n4. Social Value & Community\nThe final value is still to be confirmed, and is dependent on tender structure. The value provided below is an estimate of spend within the Eastern Region and the intended 6 year (including extensions) contract term. The orders traditionally placed under this framework are low value (under 50k).\nAs the route to market will be via RISQS, suppliers are encouraged to  register on RISQS and select the RICCL codes specified in the attached Preliminary Market Engagement Document.\nPlease note that any content received via response to this Notice will be used purely for information purposes only and will not be deemed as forming part of any proposed bid now, or any potential future tender. \nThis Notice does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services mentioned in this Notice and Network Rail will not accept any proposals offered in response to this Notice. Network Rail is not liable for any costs, fees, or expenses incurred by any party in replying to or attending any Notice event.",
