Network Rail North West & Central Region CP7 Frameworks relating to Capital Delivery Works (Phase 1)

Network Rail is intending to put in place a number of frameworks for Control Period 7 (CP7) for the delivery of capital works in the North West & Central Region. These frameworks are divided into categories and will be subject to procurement exercises in phases. This PIN notice relates to Phase 1.

Before the launch of the CP7 procurement exercise for Phase 1, Network Rail wishes to engage with organisations that may be interested in participating in the forthcoming procurement exercise to explain the opportunity and detail of the procurement event. Network Rail is therefore holding a CP7 North West & Central Region Frameworks (Phase 1) Launch Event and the purpose of this notice is to invite interested parties to attend.

CP7 covers the 5 year period from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2029.

The North West & Central Region is formed of 3 routes, North West, Central and West Coast South.
