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.

Gateline Replacement

1. ORGANISATIONAL OVERVIEWMerseyrail is one of the most punctual and reliable rail networks in the UK, with consistently high scores for passenger satisfaction and national award wins for customer service. The self-contained network has some of the most affordable fares in the country and operates over 600, regular services per day to 68 stations throughout the Liverpool City Region.2. INTRODUCTIONMerseyrail are working in close partnership with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) to transform customer journeys ensuring that customers can benefit from a pay as you go (PAYG) Account Based Ticketing system (ABTS). This aligns with the 'London style ticketing' which is a vision endorsed by Merseyrail and the Metro Mayer of the Liverpool City Region.Merseyrail operate a frequent train service across a small dense urban network and the average fare is low. Research shows that customers tend not to purchase their ticket before travel and instead prefer to purchase their ticket at a station.Using a new ABT system passengers would simply tap a platform validator or station gate at the start and end of their journey. The ABT system uses these taps to calculate and charge the best value fare for the journey, removing the need for passengers to queue at ticket offices or work out which ticket they require.The ABT system will be token agnostic, providing the flexibility to accept ITSO (MetroCard), EMV (bank card and EMV devices such as mobile phones) and Barcode. However, Merseyrail's current gate lines do not support EMV and so as part of the Future Ticketing Strategy, we are looking to procure replacement gate lines which will include the above functionality. ITSO will be Phase 1 of the ABT rollout, in which passengers will use the existing MetroCard to tap in and tap out. With integration with Merseytravel's Host Operator Processing System (HOPS), the new ABT system will charge the passenger's bank account assigned to the MetroCard. Phase 2 will be EMV, allowing passengers to tap the gates and platform validators with their bankcard or EMV enabled device, with automatic charges going to that bankcard. Consistent with gate lines across the country, Merseyrail gate lines are not compatible with EMV and so Merseyrail is now looking to replace gate lines with EMV capabilities as part of the delivery of ABT. This procurement will involve replacing 50 gates with priced options for the potential of a further 13 additional gates being installed to the Merseyrail estate, Bidders will be requested to price each location individually to allow prioritisation of sites and budget, as well as an all-inclusive cost which may drive efficiencies and cost savings. Platform validators required for ABT are already installed at all non-gated stations. Based on the planned phases, compatibility with ITSO and EMV are must have requirements, with support for magnetic stripe paper tickets and barcode as options to be costed for separately.3. SCOPEThe scope of this procurement covers physical gate hardware along with systems and services as detailed below.Although the new ABT system will be token agnostic, Merseyrail is looking for costs for the new gate lines to include a breakdown of cost options with CCST magnetic tickets and Barcode ticket compatibility as options, and ITSO and EMV as must haves upon initial installation.A detailed specification will be issued with the Invitation To Tender (ITT), however a high level overview of requirements can be found below. 3.1 Gate ReplacementMerseyrail's estate currently consists of 50 station gates, all of which need to be replaced. In addition to this, In addition to this, 13 new gates may be purchased for installation, with 5 new gates at the Water Street entrance to James Street station, 4 new gates at Lime Street low level and 4 more at Old Hall Street. Gate lines include a mixture of Automatic

Coventry City Council ("the Council") has opted to run a Competitive procedure with negotiation under the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 and is seeking to appoint a framework of Research & Development (R&D) partners.Coventry City Council ("the Council") has been and will continue to develop the living and working environment within Coventry through a series of programmes that improve the transport infrastructure to attract inward investment and drive the transition from fossil fuel transport to sustainable transportation solutions.One key project in this drive for modal shift is the Coventry Very Light Rail (VLR) project. This project is to develop a VLR product that can be manufactured predominantly in the West Midlands that will drive modal shift within small to medium size urban environments, consistent with many cities within the UK where a standard tram system would not be economically feasible. This system will be a low capital cost for installation and will be environmentally clean at the point of use, which will have a positive impact on air quality, this modal shift is designed to reduce congestion, and as a result, open up the city for investment especially along the route.The approach that the Council has taken to achieve the ambition outlined above is one of innovation and development. This framework of R&D Partners is to develop relationships with organisations that can support all phases of product development from ideation through to market ready product. It is understood that any R&D Partner will need to be able to exercise a support framework of subcontractors and suppliers to achieve the service offering of the full technology development cycle.By setting out the why, what and how of the Council's expectations, this document is intended to describe the relational foundation on which the Council and R&D Partners will team up to achieve those objectives.The Council is seeking R&D partners that provide services that include, but are not limited to:• Project management and cost control• Innovation funding, and the development and identification of funding streams• Ideation - investigation of current technologies and new developments• Analysis and testing• Prototyping• Subcontractor management• Market readiness and business case development including whole life analysis• Design for manufacture, assembly, value engineering• Product life (FATS, SATS, Durability etc.) testing and industry approvals• Very low volume, low volume manufacturing strategy development.• Technical contract specification• Strategic stakeholder engagement• Technical expertise in support of field trails of products and the application of products toward developing the technology readiness levels• Development of digital analysis and data models.• Development of products through the technology readiness levels.• Operation and maintenance of products / components during tests and or development phases.• Activities required to gain industry approval including (included but not restricted to) policy development, case for safety documentation and approval.• Presenting and supporting the council at industry and public forums.This contract will not be split into Lots, but it is recognised that a partner would require the capability to exercise the use of contracts, subcontracts and suppliers to support the contract requirements.

Design Contest-Track Buckle Risk and Detection

The onset of hot weather brings with it the risk of track buckling if high rail temperatures are combined with deficiencies within the track system (i.e., incorrect rail stress, disturbed / deficient ballast, lateral alignment faults, incorrect rail joint gaps, etc.). Ideally, all such deficiencies should be eliminated before the hot weather season starts. As air temperatures increase during periods of hot weather, rail temperatures also increase. Metals expand and contract as the temperature changes. If a length of steel rail is rigidly clamped at both ends and then heated, the metal expands and is put under compression until the force becomes too great and exceeds the track systems lateral resistance forces.A PIN was run in early 2021 to determine the levels of pre-market engagement of this challenge statement which received a strong response. Network Rail would like to invite prospective suppliers to complete Phase 1 and 2 of the Track Buckle Risk and Detection Tender we are putting out which will ask a range of Qualification, Technical and Commercial questions.
