This session will include a presentation from the Project Manager and Procurement Team, outlining the scope of the upcoming procurement and key requirements.\nThe session will provide insight into the following areas:\n- Proposed Service Provisions\n- Locations\n- Reporting Requirements\n- Procurement Timelines\nNTL will also ask for an engagement from the market on the following topics:\n- Potential inclusion of Additional Services (Minor Works & Winterisation services)\n- Potential Lotting Structure \n- Pricing Structure\n- Key Performance Indicators\n- Contract Term\n- Commercial Terms\nFollowing the session, attending suppliers will receive a short questionnaire to gather feedback on the proposed approach. \nFollowing the event, NTL proposes to invite selected participants to provide further information by way of one-to-one meetings to be held in Manchester or on MS Teams in November 2025. \nThe purpose of these meetings is to allow NTL to gather further feedback on the proposed contract, commercial terms and the tender process, as well as discuss any key issues raised by participants.\nAttendees may be invited to provide further information at NTL's sole discretion.\nTo express interest in attending the Pre-Market Engagement session, please email:\n- Sarah Nixon (sarah.nixon@northernrailway.co.uk) and \n- Paul Schofield (paul.schofield@northernrailway.co.uk) \nPlease include your organisation's name, contact details and the name of attendees. A calendar invitation with joining details will follow.\nSuppliers should note that there is no obligation to take part in this preliminary market engagement exercise and that if they do not take part, it will not preclude them from the subsequent related procurement process. Engaging suppliers will not receive preferential treatment in any procurement tender process, and this is in no way an indication of the selection of any organisation or a guarantee of future work." } ], "dueDate": [ { "releaseID": "064112-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-10-10T11:50:49+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2025-10-23T23:59:59+01:00" } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "064112-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-10-10T11:50:49+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "scheduled" } ] } ] }, "parties": [ { "id": "GB-COH-03076444", "name": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "NORTHERN TRAINS LIMITED" } ], "identifier": { "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-COH" } ], "id": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "03076444" } ] }, "additionalIdentifiers": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PZCJ-2164-HJQZ" } ] } ], "address": { "streetAddress": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "George Stephenson House" } ], "locality": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "York" } ], "postalCode": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "YO1 6JT" } ], "country": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB" } ], "countryName": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "United Kingdom" } ], "region": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKE21" } ] }, "contactPoint": { "email": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "procurement@northernrailway.co.uk" } ] }, "roles": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "buyer" ] } ], "details": { "classifications": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthorityCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority - central government" } ] } ] } } ], "buyer": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "GB-COH-03076444" } ], "name": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "NORTHERN TRAINS LIMITED" } ] }, "tender": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "ocds-h6vhtk-051c23" } ], "legalBasis": { "id": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "2023/54" } ], "scheme": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "UKPGA" } ], "uri": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents" } ] }, "title": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "Total Facilities Management" } ], "description": [ { "releaseID": "024338-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-05-21T17:54:11+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "NTL will be going to market for the procurement of Total Facilities Management (FM) Services across our Network of Stations, Engineering Depots and Beneficiary locations.

Therefore, the maximum number of successful suppliers made may increase where 2 or more suppliers have tied scores in the last successful position. \nAll other suppliers (and non-compliant parties) will be notified as unsuccessful from the process at this stage.\nNTL reserves the right to not score any question response that had not been provided in line with the instructions provided in the ITP.\nStage 2:\nSuppliers taken through from Stage 1 will be invited to submit their Tender Responses.\nTender Responses will have three (3) distinct elements:\n- Technical Quality with a weighting of 45%\n- Pricing with a weighting of 45%\n- Social Value with a weighting of 10%\nNTL will undertake a comprehensive evaluation process to determine the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT).\nTender Responses will initially be checked for compliance, including that all required returnables for the response have been submitted.

The supplier will be required to make suitable personnel available to NTL in order to resolve NTL's queries. Any clarification discussed at such clarification meetings will be agreed by NTL and the supplier and documented and submitted by the supplier through the message centre on Delta.\nThe specific dates on which these visits can be made will be agreed with the suppliers via the Delta portal during or following the ITN stage.\nStage 3 (optional):\nFollowing evaluation of the ITN, if required, a minimum of two (2) Tenderers with the highest scores from ITN stage may be invited to submit Best and Final Offers ('BAFO's). \nNTL strongly encourages all Tenderers to submit competitive tender submissions.
