NEX23/59 Legal Services for the Washington Metro Loop

UK Newcastle upon Tyne Nexus

Nexus requires suitably qualified and experienced legal advisors, who will be appointed to a zero-value eight-year framework to support Nexus on a project to plan, construct, commission and operate passenger services on the Washington Metro Loop (WML). Subject to approval of the Outline Business Case (OBC) by Government in due course, the legal retainer is expected to encompass the advice required to (i) prepare the content of the OBC; (ii) implement the agreed strategies set out in the OBC; (iii) deliver the OBC strategies and, in turn, commence operations on the WML in years ahead. The exact scope of work during the framework term will be subject to the timely progress of the project.The legal advisors will be required to have strong levels of recent experience across rail infrastructure projects, including but not limited to experience in the following areas:• Strategies in connection with land acquisition and consents;• Planning matters including permitted development rights in a rail context;• Rail regulatory matters including licensing, consents and communications with regulatory bodies;• Rail operations;• Interfaces with Network Rail as a key delivery partner in the project, to include areas such as infrastructure management, track access, station leases and train operations;• Project governance and communications with project stakeholders including local authority and combined authority partners, DfT and MHCLG among others;• Project funding;• Procurement, with the potential need for additional rolling stock as part of the project deliverables;• Environmental and/or social issues connected with the project;• Rail construction and engineering contracts; and• Project insurances.The WML ProjectThe WML is currently funded by the North East Combined Authority (NECA) but the aspiration is it will become a flagship project of the North East Mayoral Combined Authority (NEMCA) following the election of a North East mayor in May 2024.The WML aims to enhance connectivity and accessibility across the South of Tyne and Wearside area through the restoration of former railway alignments including the Leamside Line. Closed to passenger services in 1964 before becoming entirely disused approximately 30 years later, the Leamside Line connects with the East Coast Mainline and Durham Coast Line at Tursdale and Pelaw respectively. However, it is important to note that the Washington Metro Loop would only require reinstatement of part of the Leamside Line, from Pelaw to north of Penshaw, and not its full opening. Any involvement of the Washington Metro Loop in the further reinstatement of the Leamside Line is likely to be limited to inclusion of passive provision for heavy rail traffic and management of project interfaces where necessary, and that is reflected in the scope of this framework let.The Strategic Outline Business Case (SOBC) for the project states constructing the WML would bring economic, societal, and environmental benefits to the area by:• Creating nearly 8 million additional passenger journeys per year;• Giving Washington - the fourth largest town without access to a rail service - new connections across Tyne and Wear;• Reducing carbon emissions by nearly 87,000 tonnes per year;• Providing reliable and resilient travel;• Focusing on places in need of 'levelling up'; and• Increasing the feeling of 'pride in place' and putting locations 'back on the map'.The Washington Metro Loop will link existing stations at Pelaw and South Hylton via Washington. The OBC will also review options for further extensions enabling direct services to South Shields from Washington and Sunderland respectively. The project will require track works, new stations, additional services, signalling and traction power. Three station locations have been earmarked on the WML although the number an

Target 190plus Synthetic Environment for the Design & Test of Signalling Solutions (Phase 2 & 3)

UK London Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd

The railway faces a major industry challenge, where the cost and volume of future signalling renewals is unsustainable. Over the next 15 years there is a need to deliver an increase of over 50% of the signalling renewals work at half the current price to achieve a sustainable, affordable railway that can meet customer needs and expectations.Britain must have a reliable, high performing railway that’s fit for the future, delivers financial value and provides operational performance in a safe and sustainable way. To reduce costs and increase access on the railway we are creating new ways of working and introducing new technology. The use of digital technology will improve the services to freight and passenger customers, causing less delays due to signalling failure and track closures for access to complete repairs and providing the opportunity for more trains to run where needed.We’re working across Industry to build a new approach for balancing research and development and engineering solutions with the needs of end users and customers.Target 190plus is a Network Rail Research & Development (R&D) programme that looks at the sustainability of the signalling systems on the network and the challenges these bring to the rail industry. It has the aim to reduce the current whole life cost of signalling from a unit rate of £419,000 to the required £190,000 by 2029 to enable the ETCS Long Term Deployment Plan to be achieved.Synthetic Environment is 1 of 29 projects, the programme will use to reduce costs, improve services for passengers and increase safety by automating signalling design processes, standardising system architectures, implementing faster renewals planning and introducing offsite testing and validation processes.Synthetic Environment Phase 1: concerned the development of detailed requirements for the SE, completed.This procurement event will seek a suitable supplier to deliver Phase 2 and 3 of theSynthetic Environment Project:Phase 2: Development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for SE and shadow mode runningPhase 3: Full SE capable of delivering all the foreseen technologyand scope options for F-CCS projectsDetailed requirements within the published tender documents.

An option to decommission Gateline Infrastructure is included within these services; c)The option for Upgrades to existing Gateline components - as may be required so that existing infrastructure or components may be updated and improved to reflect latest functionality and standards; d)Maintenance and Operation - including Device Management to enable the operation of both new and updated Gateline Infrastructure to effective operational levels, providing an acceptable level of service to the public; and e)Demonstrable delivery of Social Value The key objective of the procurement is to establish a framework agreement with a single economic operator that will enable NTL "the Utility" (and the other Contracting Utilities listed on this notice) to enter into their own respective Agreements under the framework following conclusion of the procurement exercise. The nature of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is that both supply, works and services will be 'called-off' by the Utility and Contracting Utilities in accordance with their specific requirements following contract award and in accordance with a 'call-off' procedure that will be subject to negotiation during the procurement process. The value of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement will therefore depend upon the level of subscription to the framework, however the estimated value is based upon supply and commissioning of 500 Gateline Infrastructure components and their operation and maintenance over the initial contract term and two extension periods. Northern Trains (NTL) has chosen to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016. Given the subject matter of the framework agreement and the exceptional circumstances that apply in respect of award of a contract to single economic operator and proprietary nature of maintenance and operation obligations, the term of the agreement will exceed 8 years as set out in Clause 51(3) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract term for the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is consequently a five-year initial term with two options for further 5-year extensions.

Design Contest-Track Buckle Risk and Detection

UK London Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd

The onset of hot weather brings with it the risk of track buckling if high rail temperatures are combined with deficiencies within the track system (i.e., incorrect rail stress, disturbed / deficient ballast, lateral alignment faults, incorrect rail joint gaps, etc.). Ideally, all such deficiencies should be eliminated before the hot weather season starts. As air temperatures increase during periods of hot weather, rail temperatures also increase. Metals expand and contract as the temperature changes. If a length of steel rail is rigidly clamped at both ends and then heated, the metal expands and is put under compression until the force becomes too great and exceeds the track systems lateral resistance forces.A PIN was run in early 2021 to determine the levels of pre-market engagement of this challenge statement which received a strong response. Network Rail would like to invite prospective suppliers to complete Phase 1 and 2 of the Track Buckle Risk and Detection Tender we are putting out which will ask a range of Qualification, Technical and Commercial questions.

Framework for the provision of legal services in support of ScotRail’s New Trains Procurement Programme

UK Glasgow ScotRail Trains Limited (Utilities)

ScotRail Trains (SRT) plans to replace 65% of its train fleet (around 675 carriages) in the period 2027 to 2035. Nine of the eleven sub fleets of trains currently operated will be replaced as leases expire and it becomes uneconomical to life extend trains for continued operation. As part of this programme SRT will decarbonise our entire train fleet helping Scottish Government deliver a key milestone in transitioning Scotland to a net zero economy. All existing diesel trains will be withdrawn and replaced with new trains powered by overhead electric wires, batteries or hydrogen. As well as eliminating carbon emissions from passenger rail services in Scotland, this will transform our customer offer improving journey comfort, accessibility and reliability. We will reduce operating costs and improve the consistency of offer to customers by consolidating the number of different sub fleets we operate from the existing eleven to, ideally, five.This transformation will be delivered through three procurement competitions:- Phase 1 2022-23 - we will procure a new fleet of suburban trains which will enter passenger service between 2027 and 2030. These trains will connect local communities with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.- Phase 2 2024-25 (indicative) we will procure a new fleet of trains for our rural routes.- Phase 3 2025-26 (indicative) we will procure a new fleet of intercity trains to connect the central belt with Aberdeen and Inverness.SRT require legal advice services to support us in running efficient and compliant procurement competitions which deliver trains which meet our customer, technical and operational requirements whilst providing value for money for the taxpayer. Value for money extends beyond the capital and operating cost of the new trains to include the economic and societal benefits which can be delivered for local communities and businesses through such significant investment from Scottish Government. Ensuring the new trains are constructed in a manner which minimises the impact on the environment will also be a key factor in delivering a successful sustainable procurement.The first phase of the new trains programme will be to procure a new fleet of suburban electric and battery electric multiple units (EMU and BEMU). Including options, the suburban procurement is envisaged to cover around 120 units comprising around 550 vehicles. We envisage the minimum core order being 64 units and 295 vehicles.The scope of the procurement will also include Maintenance services – tenderers will be required to submit options for both a Technical Services Agreement and Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement and a decision on the route which provides best overall value for money will be taken prior to contract award.Upgrades will be required to maintenance depot and servicing and stabling facilities. These are likely to be delivered by our partners in Network Rail, but we will investigate during the procurement if there is benefit in works being delivered by the train Manufacturer and Maintainer.A separate procurement is anticipated be held in parallel with that of the trains to identify a suitable financier.Following contract awards on the suburban trains procurement, it is envisaged that the team will move onto developing and delivering procurements for the rural and intercity fleets.The legal advisors will be required to provide ad hoc contract management and legal support to the SRT project team managing the design, manufacture, testing, commissioning and approvals process of the new trains contracts.SRT is acting to deliver the procurement on behalf of Scottish Rail Holdings (SRH) who are a public sector company, owned and controlled by the Scottish Government. SRH report to Transport Scotland (TS) who are the national transport agency for Scotland, responsible for delivering the Scottish Government's vision for transport.

Energy Performance Contracts

UK London Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd

Network Rail (NR) owns, operates, and develops Britain’s railway infrastructure. That is 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We manage 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are currently managed by the country’s train operating companies.NR are undertaking a Decarbonisation/ Energy Efficiency Programme across a range of built assets in all Regions. We have already completed over 150 energy audits so far and identified significant potential to reduce carbon and energy use. Network Rail Route Services have national targets to achieve carbon and energy reductions in their operations as outlined in our Environmental Sustainability Strategy. An overview of Network Rail scope of activities may be found on our web site (https://www.networkrail.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/NR-Environmental-Strategy-FINAL-web.pdf).To contribute to the achievement of these aims, Network Rail intend to award contracts as a result of this procurement to qualified and capable Energy Services Companies (ESCo’s and the Suppliers under the Framework resulting from this procurement) to provide proposals as part of a call off of services from Suppliers on the Framework Agreement for the provision of Energy Performance Contract (EPC) services. An EPC is a form of financing for capital improvements which allows for funding of energy upgrades from cost reductions. Under an EPC arrangement the Supplier implements a project to deliver energy efficiencies and/or a renewable energy project and uses the stream of income from the cost savings, or the renewable energy produced, to repay the costs of the project, including the costs of the investment and cost of financing. The purpose of this procurement is the competitive selection of up to three Suppliers for Framework Agreement award.Network Rail’s portfolio of buildings consist of offices, stations, depots, route operating centres, electrical control rooms, signalling centres and other operational infrastructure as detailed in Property Description in Annex 1. Most properties in this portfolio will be optionally covered by the Framework contract. It is intended that Network Rail will regularly release batches of property for EPC activities throughout the term of the Framework Agreement. EPC services may be requested for any location in Network Rail property portfolio in all parts of Great Britain.The Network Rail property portfolio is managed by 5 regional organizations, supported by centralised functions in the Authority. This framework contract will be awarded by the central commercial and procurement teams acting on behalf of the Authority and the regional organisations. The exact number of and type of properties for EPC consideration during the term of the Framework Agreement will be dependent on Network Rail’s discretion, operational constraints and the Suppliers’ capability.

NEX20/40 Infrastructure Works between Pelaw and Bede Stations, Collectively Forming the Metro Flow Programme

UK Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne and Wear PTE (t/a Nexus)

Nexus operate and maintain the Metro Network which serves a Tyne and Wear population of 1.13 million. The area includes key employment areas of Newcastle and Gateshead and Sunderland city centre hosting major retail, healthcare and higher education clusters. These locations are clusters of agglomeration for the region where much of its economic activity is concentrated and are a focus for commuting and leisure journeys. The Metro currently operates on two routes:(i) the Airport to South Hylton (green line); and St James to South Shields (yellow line). Both lines have a twelve (12) minute daytime frequency with additional peak-time services.These frequencies are the highest that can be delivered within the constraints imposed by existing infrastructure and rolling stock. Poor frequencies, longer journey times and over-crowding deter non-users from trying the Metro, so change is necessary to prepare for the future. To enable more frequent services to operate and to extend the network, a step-change in network resilience and capacity is required. These three themes define the metro flow programme.The procurement of the metro flow programme is being conducted using the negotiated procedure in accordance with the provisions of the UCR as a single stage NEC4 Option C (Target Cost with Activity Schedule) design and construct contract.This procurement will allow the award of a contract to design and construct twin track from Pelaw to Bede, utilising, and upgrading the divested Network Rail track that runs parallel. The successful bidder will provide all the infrastructure and services, testing and commissioning that are required to bring the dual track into Nexus operation. The scope of this Agreement will be generally as follows:• review, develop and re-submit the Form A Outline Design and subsequent Form B Detailed Design for the works for approval by Nexus and Network Rail where appropriate;• all structures to support W6a gauging and RA10 route availability;• plain line infills will be installed between too the join the link the divested Network Rail line with the existing Metro lines;• refurbishment of existing track;• the third track which currently loops around the rear of both Hebburn and Jarrow station will be decommissioned and removed;• all switches and crossings between Pelaw junction and Bede will be replaced to accommodate the new alignment;• track drainage reviewed and replaced/updated as necessary;• all underbridges will need to be strengthened to meet a rating capable of supporting Route Availability 10;• the platforms at Jarrow and Hebburn Stations will need to be lowered to allow sufficient clearances to adjacent overbridges and new OLE clearances;• troughing will be refurbished or installed to support the revised signalling installations;• all existing overhead line will need to be raised to support W6a Gauging;• overhead line will need to be installed over the Network Rail alignment which is being retained;• the track will need to be re-signalled from Pelaw junction through to Bede to support the joint running of light and heavy rail; and• Nexus’ RTMS system will require updating to reflect the transfer of the Network Rail line to Nexus ownership.

Design Contest — Geofencing Track Worker Warning System

UK London Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd

Network Rail has identified Geofencing technology as a potential addition to the safe system of work (SSoW), to improve the safety of trackside working. Maintenance and construction personnel working trackside is one of the highest risk environments across the Network Rail estate. The activities conducted by these workers are complex and require significant attention and many near misses occur when workers lose situational awareness of their surroundings and accidentally stray outside of safe areas. Near misses are incidents in which no property is damaged and no personal injury was sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage or injury could easily have occurred.In light of this, Network Rail are running the ‘Geofencing Track Worker Warning System Design Contest’ to develop, explore and trial a selection of proposed design solutions that would help to address this current challenge. The objective is to create a real-time monitoring system that could identify if trackside workers accidentally move into unsafe zones on a work site and to alert users when this occurs via a wearable device. The design solution will be expected to support the identification of potential safety breaches and to alert workers in real time, by monitoring user positions relative to pre-defined and fixed ‘safe’ and ‘unsafe’ geographical regions.Network Rail will be inviting applicants to participate in the design contest by submitting a design or plan which addresses this challenge. Following the completion of design contest, Network Rail will select design contest winners; these winners will be invited to participate in a phase of negotiations with Network Rail which if successful may result in the award of a service contract to take part in the Geofencing Track Worker Warning System trial.For further guidance on how to complete a design submission and participate in the design contest, participants should access the following link: https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/esop/toolkit/opportunity/opportunityDetail.do?opportunityId=49571&oppList=CURRENTThe design contest response period is due to close on 16th September (this will be confirmed in the procurement documentation).Network Rail will be completing this design contest across two stages of evaluation. Please refer to the Network Rail criteria and scoring document and the instructions to participants document for information on the selection criteria.

RE-imagining Railway Stations: Connecting Communities

UK London Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd

Network Rail invites proposals that will challenge and re-imagine what a ‘station’ could become in the 21st century as the interface between the community and the railway.This international design competition is focused on new solutions for small to medium stations across the UK. There are already more than 2 000 of these, ranging from small halts to medium-sized stations. The competition’s aim is to explore designs for the interface between a 21st century community and the rail system that can be integrated in the wide range of different suburban and rural contexts. It will interrogate the meaning of the term ‘station’ through the design process.The solution should explain the underlying philosophy and show how this philosophy can be interpreted to be suitable both for use at any small-medium new build station site and also how it can be used to adapt those sites where there already is an existing smaller station.Network Rail are inviting ideas that explore a response to the changing character of our society as well as addressing the wide variety of existing experiences at UK rail stations. Coronavirus has shaken up our way of life from which, along with the climate and ecological emergency, the recovery process will demand a profound shift in the way we behave in order to provide a secure future for future generations

This framework is for the supply (lease) and installation of an integrated road vehicle telematics and dashboard camera system with associated services. This system will be leased as opposed to purchased as leasing the units is a more cost effective solution. There will be no up front cost for the units and at the end of the framework, all units can be provided back to the supplier. This decision has been made on the basis of lessons learnt from the current road fleet telematics framework.A working group session was held with Safety Technical Engineering (STE), end users, Road Vehicle Compliance Managers (RVCM’s) and trade union representatives to discuss the road fleet telematics specification and its application.The specification was agreed and it was determined that the current trade union agreement for road fleet telematics with Network Rail would be revised once the new supplier is in place.The supplier is to provide a system that includes but is not limited to the following:— units fitted in the Network Rail Vehicles that transmit telematics data that are leased units,— a forward facing and rear facing camera,— a web portal that can be accessed by Network Rail on its own site and computers,— an app which can be accessed on IOS and Android which will allow drivers to view their most recent and historic journey data,— reporting of driver activities and behaviour, journey records, tax related data and the holding and management of data generated from the vehicle units that supports Network Rail’s road fuel analysis, as a minimum.

The Chichester railway station will be a key public transport interchange within the area. The area offers opportunities for redevelopment but the operational requirements of Network Rail and the train operating company must be maintained. There are opportunities to develop the infrastructure within the site, including pedestrianizing areas (subject to use by public transport), improving public realm for cyclists and pedestrians, and realigning and modifying existing highways. Any new office space forming part of the design is expected to focus on the envisaged high growth, high value sectors identified in the C2C LEP Strategic Economic Plan.The development partner will:— support the Council to complete land assembly and relocations,— design a high quality scheme in accordance with the Masterplan for the area and the Council's requirements,— consider and advise on focused meanwhile uses,— participate in consultation and obtaining planning permission,— deliver infrastructure, including public realm, highways and transport,— fund the scheme,— develop the scheme,— brand, promote and market the opportunity,— ensure the long term stewardship and management of the completed development.See Section V.1.3) for information on the expected procurement timetable.

Contract 2: Tunnel Lids — Permanent Works

UK London City of London Corporation

The museum of London is planning to relocate from its current home at London Wall to a new home in West Smithfield from 2023. The new museum scheme sees the old general market and the current poultry market being refurbished and brought up to world class museum standards. Integral to the scheme is enclosing West Poultry Avenue, which is the road between the 2 buildings, so that it becomes part of the scheme and unifies the 2 buildings.The City of London Corporation's Smithfield Tunnel Lids Upgrade Project therefore is a significant set of works designed to alleviate load, deliver structural refurbishment and new waterproofing to areas over both live running tunnels, sidings and existing basements, which lie under the new museum footprint and surrounding streets. Within this scope lies an interface with network rail, who require their current access route on to the tracks to be relocated to prevent it from impacting on the new museum's functionality.The proposed site is located within the City of London near Farringdon Road. West Poultry Avenue is the adjoining road between the Charterhouse Street and West Smithfield. On plan the NR tunnels run at a slight angle to the proposed building layout, consequently underlying part sections of West Poultry Avenue, the adjoining streets (Charterhouse and West Smithfield) and the General Market building.The following is a summary of the works included in this contract, split into three sections for clarity:— tunnel lids direct works,— network rail access works — basement level,— further miscellaneous works — bridge works.
