Midlands Rail Hub Alliance – Alliance Partners (Non-Signalling Disciplines)

The Midlands Rail Hub (MRH) programme of works is a series of multidisciplinary infrastructure interventions intended to be undertaken across the West, Central and East Midlands of the UK with the core purpose, and combined output, of providing a number of additional services between central Birmingham and key regional cities and transport hubs. The envisaged MRH scope is intended to include, but is not limited to, the design and build of: new platforms and sidings; up to two new chords into Birmingham Moor Street; widening of existing viaduct; power supply upgrades; new freight loops; new overhead line equipment (OLE) and various signalling works including the re-modelling of existing layouts. MRH is intended to be delivered through an Alliance delivery model with Alliance members consisting of:

• Network Rail (as Client);
• Non-Signalling Partners (the focus of this notice and forthcoming procurement event); and
• A Signalling Partner (to be appointed via a separate sourcing event). This notice is not a call for competition. Network Rail wishes to invite interested economic operators to register their interest in receiving further procurement updates, including a market briefing session planned for January 2024, in respect of the procurement event for the Alliance Partners (Non-Signalling Disciplines) through joining the MRH distribution list. Economic operators may join the distribution list by completing the MS Form linked below: https://forms.office.com/e/i14dwAVdDW Economic operators who are already on the MRH distribution list from previous market engagement activity need not re-register.
