Scope The scope for the Framework will be the delivery of S and T projects across a wide range of work types, including the following: • Enhancement projects related to S and T • Resignalling • Renewal / upgrade of level crossings • Projects related to the Northern Ireland Route Operating Centre (NIROC ) • Minor S and T projects • Procurement of materials and equipment Suppliers will also be required to have the capability to undertake S and T design and deliver ancillary civils works as part of S and T projects. Work will be delivered on a design-and-build or build-only approach, and suppliers will also be required to undertake early contractor involvement (ECI). Key Features / Requirements • Suppliers will be required to maintain an excellent standard of health, safety and environmental performance through proactive leadership and assurance • Suppliers will be required to deliver value for money, including a Framework requirement to demonstrate both benchmarking and efficiencies over the life of the Framework • Delivery of construction work in blockades over the Christmas period and other bank holidays are anticipated • Suppliers will be required to deliver against social value targets to deliver a positive lasting legacy for the rail industry in Northern Ireland. This will be assessed at tender stage. • Suppliers will be required to utilise the Rail Method of Measurement (RMM) when producing cost estimates and tender submissions • Suppliers will be expected to undertake a range of framework-management activities including regular reporting, forecasting of spend and resource requirements and attendance at framework-level meetings • Supplier performance will be monitored using contract performance measures (CPMs) at both project and framework-level, with a range of performance mechanisms utilised to incentivise positive performance

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 45. The category anchor is Railway signalling works (45234115); 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

“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.
