NEX23/59 Legal Services for the Washington Metro Loop

Nexus requires suitably qualified and experienced legal advisors, who will be appointed to a zero-value eight-year framework to support Nexus on a project to plan, construct, commission and operate passenger services on the Washington Metro Loop (WML). Subject to approval of the Outline Business Case (OBC) by Government in due course, the legal retainer is expected to encompass the advice required to (i) prepare the content of the OBC; (ii) implement the agreed strategies set out in the OBC; (iii) deliver the OBC strategies and, in turn, commence operations on the WML in years ahead. The exact scope of work during the framework term will be subject to the timely progress of the project.The legal advisors will be required to have strong levels of recent experience across rail infrastructure projects, including but not limited to experience in the following areas:• Strategies in connection with land acquisition and consents;• Planning matters including permitted development rights in a rail context;• Rail regulatory matters including licensing, consents and communications with regulatory bodies;• Rail operations;• Interfaces with Network Rail as a key delivery partner in the project, to include areas such as infrastructure management, track access, station leases and train operations;• Project governance and communications with project stakeholders including local authority and combined authority partners, DfT and MHCLG among others;• Project funding;• Procurement, with the potential need for additional rolling stock as part of the project deliverables;• Environmental and/or social issues connected with the project;• Rail construction and engineering contracts; and• Project insurances.The WML ProjectThe WML is currently funded by the North East Combined Authority (NECA) but the aspiration is it will become a flagship project of the North East Mayoral Combined Authority (NEMCA) following the election of a North East mayor in May 2024.The WML aims to enhance connectivity and accessibility across the South of Tyne and Wearside area through the restoration of former railway alignments including the Leamside Line. Closed to passenger services in 1964 before becoming entirely disused approximately 30 years later, the Leamside Line connects with the East Coast Mainline and Durham Coast Line at Tursdale and Pelaw respectively. However, it is important to note that the Washington Metro Loop would only require reinstatement of part of the Leamside Line, from Pelaw to north of Penshaw, and not its full opening. Any involvement of the Washington Metro Loop in the further reinstatement of the Leamside Line is likely to be limited to inclusion of passive provision for heavy rail traffic and management of project interfaces where necessary, and that is reflected in the scope of this framework let.The Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) for the project states constructing the WML would bring economic, societal, and environmental benefits to the area by:• Creating nearly 8 million additional passenger journeys per year;• Giving Washington - the fourth largest town without access to a rail service - new connections across Tyne and Wear;• Reducing carbon emissions by nearly 87,000 tonnes per year;• Providing reliable and resilient travel;• Focusing on places in need of 'levelling up'; and• Increasing the feeling of 'pride in place' and putting locations 'back on the map'.The Washington Metro Loop will link existing stations at Pelaw and South Hylton via Washington. The OBC will also review options for further extensions enabling direct services to South Shields from Washington and Sunderland respectively. The project will require track works, new stations, additional services, signalling and traction power. Three station locations have been earmarked on the WML although the number an

Target 190plus Synthetic Environment for the Design & Test of Signalling Solutions (Phase 2 & 3)

The railway faces a major industry challenge, where the cost and volume of future signalling renewals is unsustainable. Over the next 15 years there is a need to deliver an increase of over 50% of the signalling renewals work at half the current price to achieve a sustainable, affordable railway that can meet customer needs and expectations.Britain must have a reliable, high performing railway that’s fit for the future, delivers financial value and provides operational performance in a safe and sustainable way. To reduce costs and increase access on the railway we are creating new ways of working and introducing new technology. The use of digital technology will improve the services to freight and passenger customers, causing less delays due to signalling failure and track closures for access to complete repairs and providing the opportunity for more trains to run where needed.We’re working across Industry to build a new approach for balancing research and development and engineering solutions with the needs of end users and customers.Target 190plus is a Network Rail Research & Development (R&D) programme that looks at the sustainability of the signalling systems on the network and the challenges these bring to the rail industry. It has the aim to reduce the current whole life cost of signalling from a unit rate of £419,000 to the required £190,000 by 2029 to enable the ETCS Long Term Deployment Plan to be achieved.Synthetic Environment is 1 of 29 projects, the programme will use to reduce costs, improve services for passengers and increase safety by automating signalling design processes, standardising system architectures, implementing faster renewals planning and introducing offsite testing and validation processes.Synthetic Environment Phase 1: concerned the development of detailed requirements for the SE, completed.This procurement event will seek a suitable supplier to deliver Phase 2 and 3 of theSynthetic Environment Project:Phase 2: Development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for SE and shadow mode runningPhase 3: Full SE capable of delivering all the foreseen technologyand scope options for F-CCS projectsDetailed requirements within the published tender documents.

Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement

Northern Trains Limited (NTL), the "Utility", a Train Operating Company (TOC) that operates passenger rail services across the North of England, is undertaking this procurement process on behalf of a number of "Contracting Utilities" including Train Operating Companies in Great Britain, Network Rail, and a number of Local Transport Authorities. The requirement comprises a framework agreement for the supply and maintenance of Gateline Infrastructure that will enable members of the travelling public to access rail services at stations and other designated locations. The services include: a)Supply of New Gateline infrastructure, including the mechanical components required to control passenger access to designated areas; bank-card readers that possess the necessary certification for compliant use; ITSO card and bar-code readers; b)Installation and Commissioning Services - of Gateline Infrastructure including any required sourcing and supply arrangements, planning, permissions, civils works, connection to all systems and networks, testing and commissioning compliant with all rail industry and other required compliance requirements and standards. An option to decommission Gateline Infrastructure is included within these services; c)The option for Upgrades to existing Gateline components - as may be required so that existing infrastructure or components may be updated and improved to reflect latest functionality and standards; d)Maintenance and Operation - including Device Management to enable the operation of both new and updated Gateline Infrastructure to effective operational levels, providing an acceptable level of service to the public; and e)Demonstrable delivery of Social Value The key objective of the procurement is to establish a framework agreement with a single economic operator that will enable NTL "the Utility" (and the other Contracting Utilities listed on this notice) to enter into their own respective Agreements under the framework following conclusion of the procurement exercise. The nature of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is that both supply, works and services will be 'called-off' by the Utility and Contracting Utilities in accordance with their specific requirements following contract award and in accordance with a 'call-off' procedure that will be subject to negotiation during the procurement process. The value of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement will therefore depend upon the level of subscription to the framework, however the estimated value is based upon supply and commissioning of 500 Gateline Infrastructure components and their operation and maintenance over the initial contract term and two extension periods. Northern Trains (NTL) has chosen to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016. Given the subject matter of the framework agreement and the exceptional circumstances that apply in respect of award of a contract to single economic operator and proprietary nature of maintenance and operation obligations, the term of the agreement will exceed 8 years as set out in Clause 51(3) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract term for the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is consequently a five-year initial term with two options for further 5-year extensions.
