Market Engagement Event: Northern Powerhouse Rail / Integrated Rail Plan Development & Design Services Framework

Network Rail intends to procure a framework for the delivery of Development & Design Services required for the Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR) portfolio and the wider Integrated Rail Plan (IRP). This market engagement event seeks to update the market on the status and expected future requirements of the NPR and IRP portfolios and make a Request for Information to support the development of the associated procurement strategy. This future procurement strategy will focus on the Development & Design Services related to Projects Accelerated in a Controlled Environment (PACE) phases 1 and 2. The Request for Information will focus on how the market views the opportunity, the capacity and capability in the current market, as well as the potential contracting models to deliver the programme and service packages. Your feedback will help inform Network Rail how best to deliver potential procurement events for this complex and multidisciplinary Programme. THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION
