Track Drainage Services by Train/On Track Machine

Description

Network Rail has a current demand for mechanical drain clearance over a large geographical area and at a high rate and large volume per visit (shift). Predominately this demand is seen in Scotland and Southern regions but occasionally on other Regions too. Lot 1: Network Rail is exploring the availability of train borne drain clearance for use under a long term contract to continue to serve demand from Scotland and Southern regions, and potentially expand the areas served and the scope of the drainage service. Material to be cleared from drains will include compacted sewage, bricks, ballast and silt. To be clear Network Rail has alternative existing services for rail-road vehicles and manual drainage clearance which are out of scope of this market enquiry. Currently the demand of about 350 shifts per annum. Additional information: NR is looking to engage and harness the intelligence and knowledge of the supply chain.
