Description

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd (NR) sought four suppliers to appoint to the Development and Design Partnership Framework (DDPF) to provide services and works (enabling works and intrusive surveys) for Northern Powerhouse Rail (NPR), the Integrated Rail Plan (IRP), Network North (NN) and the Eastern Region. The geographic scope of the DDPF is the area covered by the Eastern Region (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/our-regions/eastern/), as well as the routes encompassed by IRP, NN, NPR in North-West & Central. The scope of the framework covers the provision of professional development, design, technical, and all the services to deliver Engineering Stage (ES) 1 to 5 for the DDPF. Any programme allocated to framework suppliers will be instructed to proceed through the following ES only: ES1 (Requirements defined and baselined), ES2 (Constraints identified and project feasibility confirmed), ES3 (Minimum Viable Product single option identified and endorsed), ES4 (Approval in Principle), and ES5 (Construction ready design approved and requirements validated). The initial term of the DDPF is 5 years with an option to extend the framework by yearly increments up to a further 3 years. The value of the framework is an estimate only, and as such, the framework value and associated workbank is not guaranteed. The workbank allocated through the framework will be subject to our client's, the Department for Transport, instruction and funding. The DDPF's commercial model contains an incentivisation mechanism based on a weighted scorecard driven by key performance indicators. This mechanism is driven by the DDPF's Critical Success Factors, which were described in the procurement documents. The mechanism will provide a series of commercial opportunities to high-performing suppliers including advancement into further Engineering Stages for incumbent suppliers and the allocation of new programmes based on a competitive performance leaderboard.
