The frameworks will deliver minor signalling and refurbishment works, supporting Network Rail鈥檚 works delivery teams.
The minor signalling frameworks for Control Period 6 (2019-2024) are split into 17 route-based lots, with two framework contractors for seven of the routes and three framework contractors for the Western route, have been awarded as follows:
| Contractors | Network Rail route |
|---|---|
| Amaro Signalling | South East |
| AMCO | Scotland, South East and Wales |
| Amey | Wales, Wessex and Western |
| Balfour Beatty | London North Eastern & East Midlands, Wessex and Western |
| Linbrooke | Anglia, Western and London North West |
| OSL | Scotland |
| Volker Rail | Anglia, London North Eastern & East Midlands, London North West |
This is the second of three framework tiers to be awarded for Network Rail signalling. The first tier for signalling and telecoms framework was awarded in April 2019. The remaining tier, major signalling, targeted towards major re-signalling and re-control, will complete the three-tier strategy for CP6 signalling delivery when awarded in January 2020.
Martin Robinson, Network Rail commercial director signalling, said: 鈥淭he minor signalling framework awards are the second awards in a three-tier approach to signalling delivery for CP6 which aims to recognise the differing signalling work banks we have to deliver. The awards have gone to signalling suppliers that, between them, have many years of experience supporting our maintenance and delivery teams and will help Network Rail to continue to improve the signalling asset condition and in turn improve reliability for passengers over the coming years.
鈥淭he framework鈥檚 approach using fewer contractors will help bring them closer to Network Rail and the routes and make further progress in working more collaboratively. We will continue to build on the successful relationships we already have with our suppliers and look forward to working with them all going forward.鈥�
