ESDD - High Output Surveys

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited · Central government

In brief

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited has announced plans to buy architecture and engineering and marketing work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £15,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 7 years with extensions, starting 1 March 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 44 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £15,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Network Rail is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to a proposed High Output Surveys Framework. The proposed framework is intended to support the provision of survey services across Network Rail's infrastructure portfolio, supporting the development, maintenance, renewal and enhancement of the railway. The requirement is currently under development and the final scope has not yet been determined. The framework is expected to support a range of survey activities that may include, but are not limited to: • Topographical surveys. • Measured building surveys. • Utility surveys. • Ground investigation support surveys. • Rail infrastructure surveys. • Survey data capture and management services. • Digital survey and remote sensing technologies. • Associated survey reporting and deliverables. The final scope will be confirmed following completion of market engagement activities.

How to bid
