Published requirement description

Network Rail (NR) owns, operates, and develops Britain’s railway infrastructure. That is 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We manage 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are currently managed by the country’s train operating companies.

NR are undertaking a Decarbonisation/ Energy Efficiency Programme across a range of built assets in all Regions. We have already completed over 150 energy audits so far and identified significant potential to reduce carbon and energy use.

NR aim to set up a framework that can be used for undertaking ‘common interventions’ that have been identified to help NR meet its energy efficiency targets. This will include the design, installation, and commissioning of the energy efficiency interventions identified by NR.

The objective is to award to one supplier per lot per region. The five Network Rail regions are Eastern, Northwest & Central, Scotland's Railway, Southern and Wales & Western.

How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 40 suppliers · 4 bids received (0.1 per place) · 5 appointed

Lots and requirements (8)Procurement structure

8 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £1,500,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 140 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 14 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “UK public contract notice — Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 40 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
