Train Control Systems Framework

Following previous market briefing event for this procurement (advertised by notice: 2022/S 000-019181), held on 20 July 2022, Network Rail finalised its sourcing strategy and the approach for this procurement event and held a further launch event on 10 March 2023 (advertised by notice: 2023/S 000-006216). A recording of the launch event on 10 March 2023 is available as part of the procurement documents. The figure stated in II.1.5) Estimated total value relates to the maximum value for the duration of the frameworks. The estimated total value ranges between £3bn and £4bn for both lots. Precise overall spend under the TCS Frameworks will depend on a number of factors including Control Period funding and the output of business case processes. Lot 1 - Conventional: £750m - £1bn Lot 2 - Digital: £2.25bn - £3bn The figure stated in IV.1.3 relates to the envisaged maximum number of suppliers to be appointed to the framework agreement per Lot. The TCSF frameworks are intended to be used for major conventional signalling projects and the delivery of ETCS. Examples of conventional projects which may be commissioned under Lot 1: TCS Framework - Conventional include: • Large/complex conventional signalling renewals for which the predominant discipline will typically be the signalling element; and • Large/complex enhancement projects with major infrastructure alterations whereby the associated signalling and train control infrastructure is subject to major modifications or replaced. In both examples, the signalling scope would be commissioned through Lot 1: TCS Framework - Conventional, and other disciplines / adjacent non-signalling infrastructure works if required would be sourced by Network Rail (via market competition or existing frameworks) • Significant/complex signalling scope connected to the separate sourcing of the planning, with integration and design of the works under an enterprise style venture by the region. In this example, the signalling scope would be commissioned through Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional but the appointed TCSF supplier would work on a day to day basis with the regionally appointed signalling integrator (acting on behalf of the client). Other conventional signalling work will still be sourced by regional teams via separate arrangements outside of the Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional -whether signalling only or as part of a multi-disciplinary scheme. This scope of this conventional signalling work will typically comprise: • Minor non-complex or medium complexity conventional signalling renewal or enhancement schemes which do not involve deployment of a new signalling system; and • Large complex enhancement projects may be placed outside of the TCS framework Lot 1 but these will typically be where the predominant discipline is not the signalling element and/or where the signalling scope requires extensions to signalling system rather than major modifications or the deployment of a new signalling system.

Submitting a response to this notice does not guarantee that a candidate will be invited to tender.Network Railreserves the right to disqualify any candidate who provides information or confirmations which later prove to be untrue or incorrect; does not supply the information required by the PQQ or as otherwise directed during the procurement event; or does not meet the criteria stated in the PQQ.
