It is essential that all the appointed economic operators have sufficient depth and range of resources which will allow a rapid response to attend any emergency incident on NIR's railway network.

Where necessary ‘on call’ staffing may be required over weekend/holiday periods.

The successful economic operators will then be awarded work packages through a random round robin system and required to tender for consultancy services for large scale projects via ‘mini-competitions’. There is no maximum value of a scheme under the framework the only limit is the advertised spend limit for the framework. The framework contract is to be for a 4 year period duration subject to break clauses. The framework contract is not a guarantee of any future workload but demonstrates an intention to utilise those appointed economic operators to provide services where appropriate. Estimated value: The estimated fee value excluding VAT of the services is 5 000 000 GBP over 4 years. Form of contract: A NEC3 framework contract will be issued to all successful economic operators. For future draw downs and min-competitions a NEC3 PSC will be used. Details of the contract conditions shall be set out in the invitation to tender documents.
