Works
two.1.4) Short description
Network Rail intends to establish a value driven, collaborative integrated relationship that will deliver our Control Period 7 (CP7) and potentially CP8 renewals portfolio.
Network Rail Southern Region is seeking to achieve a step change in the way renewals are delivered on its network, making the most of modern methods of working and technology, collaboration and relationship focused contracting, and a portfolio focus to achieve the objectives of the Strategic Business Plan (SBP).
Southern Integrated Delivery (SID) will be a fully integrated team based on ‘Project 13’ principles comprising all categories of railway assets: Signalling & Telecoms, Track, Buildings & Civils (B&C), Electrification and Plant (E&P) and Minor Works. The SID will bring together the strengths, capabilities, and knowledge of the supply chain and Network Rail and the scope is expected to include some or all the following items: development, design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the Southern renewals work bank.
These works will be undertaken on Kent Sussex and Wessex routes, and will primarily be focussed on the delivery of the renewals portfolio, however options will be included to enable enhancements also to be delivered, subject to capacity and where the SID is considered the optimum procurement route.
The establishment of the SID will be undertaken in tranches, the first of which pertaining to this notice is for the procurement of a Buildings & Civils and Electrification and Plant delivery Partner.

The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: Yes
Section six. Complementary information
six.3) Additional information
It is envisaged that all appointed members of the SID will initially sign into a development phase agreement which is scheduled to commence in December 2022 / January 2023 and run up until April 2024. Following which, the main SID agreement will commence. The main SID agreement will be 10 years in duration and will commence in CP7 with the inclusion of a break clause prior to the commencement of CP8. The options to enact the break clause for Control Period 8 (CP8) will be subject to performance and funding approval at the time.
The value stated in Section II.1.5 is an estimated overall value of the (CP7) and CP8 renewals portfolio across the initial period assuming the break clause between CP7 and CP8 is not enacted. Whilst Network Rail retains some understanding of the value of the CP7 Renewals portfolio, due to the way Enhancement schemes are funded, the value of Enhancements is purely indicative and subject to change. For the purposes of valuing this forthcoming opportunity, Network Rail has assumed that the volume of work delivered within CP8 is aligned with CP7 current estimates. Recognising these constraints, it is estimated that the total value of the SID may be in the region of £4.7 billion - £9.6 billion.
Of which it is anticipated that Buildings and Civils constitutes 30% - 45%, Track 15% - 25%, Signalling & Telecoms 5% - 15%, Electrification and Plant 5% -10% whilst Minor Works is estimated to constitute 20%- 30% of the overall estimated value.
However, given the uncertainty over volumes and funding commitments, the overall value of this opportunity may vary and therefore may be higher or lower than this range.
To allow potential suppliers to understand the scope and requirements of this agreement, Network Rail intends to host a virtual market briefing event in which interested parties will be provided an overview of the procurement event and on the forthcoming procurement process.
