Southern Integrated Delivery (SID)

Network Rail intends to establish a value driven, collaborative integrated relationship that will deliver our Control Period 7 (CP7) and potentially CP8 renewals portfolio.

Network Rail Southern Region is seeking to achieve a step change in the way renewals are delivered on its network, making the most of modern methods of working and technology, collaboration and relationship focused contracting, and a portfolio focus to achieve the objectives of the Strategic Business Plan (SBP).

Southern Integrated Delivery (SID) will be a fully integrated team based on ‘Project 13’ principles comprising all categories of railway assets: Signalling & Telecoms, Track, Buildings & Civils (B&C), Electrification and Plant (E&P) and Minor Works. The SID will bring together the strengths, capabilities, and knowledge of the supply chain and Network Rail and the scope is expected to include some or all the following items: development, design, manufacture, supply, installation, integration, testing and commissioning of the Southern renewals work bank.

These works will be undertaken on Kent Sussex and Wessex routes, and will primarily be focussed on the delivery of the renewals portfolio, however options will be included to enable enhancements also to be delivered, subject to capacity and where the SID is considered the optimum procurement route.

The establishment of the SID will be undertaken in tranches, the first of which pertaining to this notice is for the procurement of a Buildings & Civils and Electrification and Plant delivery Partner.
