The Eastern Region Partnership will run for five years including two months of mobilisation with the option to extend for a further five years. In total, the work programme could be worth up to £3.5bn.
Works will include a mix of small schemes/reactive works, and alternative options for standalone multi-disciplinary enhancements or major projects.
To cover the spread of work, the framework will be split between generalist lots and specialist lots.
Network Rail is planning a series of ‘hot start’ briefings to help bid teams understand the commercial model and delivery requirements.

As a partnership arrangement between Network Rail and general contractors, specialist may join the partnership if the ERP is extended beyond the initial five years.
The partnership includes a pain-gain incentive mechanism, based on the difference between the annual actual cost and the annual project target cost.
Network Rail is limiting the number of lots one contractor can win to two.
