## Description
Network Rail have electrified the Great Western route with two major programmes; Crossrail West and Great Western Electrification Programme. These two programmes of work have both constructed new substation assets with associated equipment that the routes need to maintain.
Services include:
•	Maintenance and faulting of the distribution equipment. 
•	Maintenance and faulting of the IPC and SCADA systems.
•	Staff training and mentorship support.
•	24/7 telephone technical support.
•	Rapid fault response.  
In the event of a larger incident (such as ATF failures and fires), the Contractor shall make safe only to allow restoration of full passenger service. Any further rectification works required shall be covered by a separate contract order form under the framework. For this type of work, Network Rail reserves the right to approach the open market and conduct a competitive procurement process outside the Framework.
