c2c Asset Building and Civils Framework

Trenitalia c2c Ltd ('c2c') has developed and agreed a 10-year Asset Management Plan covering the planned maintenance, repair and renewal works necessary to improve the condition and quality of their owned and leased existing assets, and any planned future assets that they are seeking to construct or maintain to support the management and maintenance of its portfolio of assets and property across the c2c route. To deliver this programme of work, c2c recognise an efficient and robust procurement framework must be developed to ensure timely and quality delivery of each project. The procurement of works has historically been delivered through c2c's existing Minor Civils Framework or through ad-hoc tendering. The current Minor Civils Framework is due to expire shortly, and as such requires replacement to maintain an effective route to market for c2c's requirements. c2c is intending to procure a multi-lot, multi-contractor Framework Contract over a 4-year term with optional extension periods of two individual 2-year periods to support the delivery of the associated Building and Civil Engineering works. The purpose of this Framework will be to provide a compliant and efficient route to market for c2c to procure a pipeline of projects required to support the management and maintenance of its portfolio of assets and property across the c2c route. c2c will utilise a Restricted Procedure in accordance with the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016 to procure the Framework Contract, which consists of the following Lots: 1: Multi-Disciplinary Building and Civils 2: Station Building and Roofing Works 3: Internal Station Improvement Works 4: Bridges 5: Ancillary Civils 6: Canopies 7: Platforms The anticipated commencement date of the Framework is estimated to be August 2024. c2c are seeking contractors that are capable and experienced at operating within a rail environment as the nature of the works may include working adjacent to rail infrastructure and live station environments. This Framework will be the first of three Framework tenders that c2c will be running to fulfil its long-term requirements. Following the procurement for this Building and Civils Framework, c2c will be tendering for a further two Frameworks: - Mechanical, Electrical and Building Services Framework (est. £110m value with procurement commencing in June 2024) - Construction Professional Services Framework (est. £20m value with procurement commencing in July 2024) Each Framework will contain several lots based on the range of disciplines that might be required to support the delivery of c2c's pipeline of work. These disciplines will be discreet Framework Lots that will contain multiple suppliers qualified to deliver work, which will enable c2c to competitively tender and deliver projects efficiently and effectively.
