How to win: W&W D&P and IPC Maintenance and Mentoring Support

About this contract

Network Rail have electrified the Great Western route with two major programmes; Crossrail West and Great Western Electrification Programme. These two programmes of work have both constructed new substation assets with associated equipment that the routes need to maintain. Services include: • Maintenance and faulting of the distribution equipment. • Maintenance and faulting of the IPC and SCADA systems. • Staff training and mentorship support. • 24/7 telephone technical support. • Rapid fault response. In the event of a larger incident (such as ATF failures and fires), the Contractor shall make safe only to allow restoration of full passenger service. Any further rectification works required shall be covered by a separate contract order form under the framework. For this type of work, Network Rail reserves the right to approach the open market and conduct a competitive procurement process outside the Framework.
