Description of the goods or services required
Network Rail Wales Route are conducting a pre-market engagement exercise as part of the approach to procuring the services required for the Strategy Planning Framework Agreement. Network Rail would like to engage with the market and potential bidders ahead of the upcoming tender for the above-mentioned framework.
The aim of this questionnaire is to gain a better understanding of the capabilities within the market and to gain information about the range of options/solutions that are available. This also provides suppliers with the opportunity to communicate with Network Rail regarding the services available within the market and to inform us about what has worked well in the past for them, and what could be improved going forward. This exercise will aid Network Rail in finalising the tender documentation to ensure that it provides all tenderers with a clear understanding of the requirements and to reduce the number of clarification received during the tender period, in a fair and transparent way.
This document and the information within is being made publicly available to all suppliers who wish to provide Network Rail with their comments in relation to the proposed services, which are listed further into this document.
A list of the services which have been identified and proposed to be included under this framework are, but not limited to, the following:
• Timetabling and Capacity Modelling
• Economic Modelling and Assessments
• Interpretation and Guidance of the Welsh Transport Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG) 2017
• Interpretation and Guidance on Government policies (included, but not limited to the Welsh Governments Well-Being of Future Generations Act)
• Strategic Outline Business Cases (SOBC)
• Environmental Impact Assessments
• Environmental Advice (including consents)
• Planning Guidance (including listed buildings)
Please note that the above list is not exhaustive, nor definitive.
4. Once the questionnaire has been completed, please send to Danielle John, Assistant Commercial Manager (Danielle.John@networkrail.co.uk) before 12pm 17th December 2018.
If there are any queries in relation to the completion of the questionnaire, please contact Danielle John.
