Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 28 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 £300,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

This requirement is for a comprehensive framework for planned preventative maintenance (PPM), reactive works, and minor project works across the North West & Central (NW&C) region. The objective is to ensure our assets are maintained effectively and efficiently. The work covers inspection, maintenance, repair, partial or whole renewal to parts of Network Rail’s assets such as but not limited to station buildings, platforms, footbridges, canopies, maintenance delivery units, equipment and systems. The reactive elements will have an emergency response time (2 hour, 24 hour, 7 day and programmed). The market engagement questionnaire is available through the published opportunity linked to this notice but is linked here for your convenience https://forms.office.com/e/ayrmSPvVfC. A supporting PowerPoint presentation is also included within the published opportunity, providing additional information about this procurement.
