II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Network Rail “Hub” Engineering Team will be responsible for design integration and assurance for the W2bc project. The team will be split into two; the Integration Hub and the Engineering Assurance Team. The Integration Hub is responsible for the integration of all Design Organisations (designs and management of these as produced in the 3D BIM environment).
The Engineering Assurance Team provides assurance to Design Organisations (DOs) designs as per the requirement outlined in NR/L2/RSE/02009.
The Integration Hub will be supported by a Lead Design Organisation (LDO), which will complete a pivotal role in ensuring that the design process is integrated and well executed, with its primary function being to ensure that the design objectives are met, design activities are coordinated within disciplines and across disciplines and that design quality is maintained throughout the project lifecycle.
Key aspects of the Lead Design Organisation role will include (but not limited to):
1. Coordination of multiple discipline design teams. This coordination ensures that various design components integrate seamlessly.
2. Providing oversight and quality control for the design process
3. Ensuring solutions are co-ordinated with programme objectives and are complementary to the wider adjoining Transpennine delivery arms.
4. Providing a key role in making design-related decisions, including resolving design conflicts, addressing design changes, and ensuring that design decisions align with project goals and requirements.
5. Captures and identifies potential design risks and develops strategies to mitigate them.
6. Responsibility for maintaining comprehensive design documentation, including design specifications, drawings, models, and other design-related documents.
7. Engagement with stakeholders
8. Interdisciplinary Collaboration to ensure that the design is multidisciplinary and holistic.
9. Continuous Improvement and seeking opportunities to enhance design efficiency, innovation, and quality.
