New Suppliers Selected To Provide Maintenance Across Network Rail's Southern Region
New suppliers have been appointed to provide planned and reactive maintenance across Network Rail's Southern Region.
Southern Integrated Delivery (SID) has appointed 15 suppliers to an innovative new 10-year partnership framework to deliver Buildings & Civils works for its Works Delivery team across the Southern region in Control Period 7 (CP7) and Control Period 8 (CP8).
As part of the Southern Renewals Enterprise, SID is responsible for planning, specifying, assembling and handing back the Southern region’s renewals portfolio for CP7 and CP8. The Minor Works, Building and Civils framework has been aligned to the Southern Renewals Enterprise model, in which profit is rewarded based on performance against the successful delivery of the Enterprise’s five outcomes.
The primary focus of the framework will be planned and reactive maintenance. By rationalising seven current frameworks into one and by awarding work directly rather than via mini tendering competitions, the new framework will provide regional consistency on how this work is managed, and will create long-term, value-driven relationships to enable sustainable growth and inward investment for local SMEs to help drive innovation and efficiency.
The framework will see one single ‘Reactive Generalist’ delivery partner appointed for Buildings and one ‘Reactive Generalist’ delivery partner for Civils. These generalists will be responsible for all reactive works (including emergency earthworks) and elements of planned maintenance. Supplementing this, thirteen specialist SME delivery partners have been appointed across seven subdiscipline lots for the delivery of low complexity, planned activities.
The lots for the framework have been awarded as follows:
Buildings
Lot 1 – Reactive Generalist (£170m): Octavius
Lot 2 – Fabric (£75m): B&M Mchugh Ltd & Spence Refit Ltd
Lot 3 – Services (£65m): KH Engineering Services Ltd & VVB Engineering Ltd
Lot 4 – Roofing (£30m): GS Moore Roofing Contractors Ltd
Civils
Lot 5 – Reactive Generalist (£160m): Dyer & Butler Ltd
Lot 6 – Metallic Structures (£20m): Construction Marine Ltd
Lot 7 – Masonry (£65m): CK Rail Solutions & Nationwide Engineering Ltd
Lot 8 – Drainage & Earthworks (£30m): Suttle Projects Ltd & Van Elle Ltd
Lot 9 – Off Track (£110m): Wessex Coombes Forestry Ltd, Kent Enable Infrastructure Ltd, Sussex Cleshar Contract Services
Commenting on the appointment of the new framework partners, SID Director Liz Baldwin said: "I'm delighted to announce the 15 suppliers that have been appointed to our new framework. Not only is this the largest value framework that will be appointed by our Works Delivery team, but it is also the first of many frameworks the SID will appoint to our Ecosystem of supply chain partners.
"We want to radically transform the way in which suppliers are incentivised and rewarded in the Southern Region. In particular, by decoupling turnover from profit and incentivising delivery partners around efficiencies and outcomes. This is a step change in the way contractors currently operate today in the rail industry."
