Network Rail Awards Multi-Million Pound Contracts

Construction News Image
Network Rail has handed out a number of multi-million pound contracts in Scotland and the North East.

The contracts, totalling £467 million, were awarded under two Control Period 6 frameworks.

BAM Nuttall landed the most significant contract, valued at £320m, for a renewals and enhancements framework. The contractor will replace and refurbish structures across the rail route, as well deliver improvements at stations.

Two Geotech frameworks worth a combined £147m have been awarded to Story Contracting (London North East) and QTS (Scotland) as part of the procurement process.  

Five-year contracts have also been awarded, with an option of two-year extensions on the Geotech framework.

Kris Kinnear, Interim Regional Director for SNE, said: "Work to renew our infrastructure is increasingly important to improve reliability for our passengers, and making sure we have the right suppliers to deliver those improvements is paramount. We look forward to working closely with our supply chain to build on the progress that has already been made and ultimately, build a better railway for our customers."

Alan McLeish, QTS Managing Director, commented: "We are exceptionally proud of the collaborative work QTS has carried out during the last control period, with some outstanding geotechnical projects delivered across Scotland. It is a testament to the hard work of our team during the CP5 contract, and the strong relationship that we have built with Network Rail, that has allowed us to be successful in this CP6 tender process.

"Our expertise and commitment to finding further efficiencies for Network Rail by using innovative plant and methods, stands us in excellent stead to continue providing a high standard of work over the next five years."

The latest contract awards complete the procurement activity for Scotland and North East, which is anticipated to hold one of the largest work-banks for the coming five-year funding period.
