Description
We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Supplier Pre-Market Engagement Event as we prepare for the renewal of the Network Rail Southern Region Environmental Services Framework Agreement. This engagement session is a key opportunity for suppliers to gain insight into the framework's scope, which will cover the four Lots which are Human & Animal Fatalities, Pest Management, Waste & Fly Tipping Clearance and Pollution Control. As we shape the next iteration of the framework, we are keen to engage with the market, understand supplier capabilities, and explore innovations that can drive efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Join us virtually to learn more about the procurement approach and how you can be part of this essential framework supporting Network Rail Operations. The Environmental Service Framework will be a key contract in ensuring that the operational railway can be opened quickly following human or animal fatalities on or near the line as well as dealing with pollution spills on or near the infrastructure. The pest control is essential for ensuring Network Rail’s lineside operational buildings remain open and operational whilst ensuring the safety of the staff using those buildings (such as signal boxes, ROC’s etc). Fly tipping is also major issue on the infrastructure and requires a contractor who can react quickly and has all the relevant accreditations such as waste transfer licence and experience in hazardous materials etc. To register for the event - please can you email danny.samuels@networkrail.co.uk by 17:00 on 02/04/2026, after this date you will be issued the scope of services to help you complete the questionnaire (see link below). Can you provide the email address of your representative to recieve the scope of services and the MS team meeting invite to the Engagement Event. Please note that registration after the deadline will not be accepted. Please note that the questionnaire will need to be completed before Tuesday 14 April 2026. Link to questionnaire: https://forms.office.com/e/DXRg2fmRGy Virtual Meeting The virtual meeting will take place on 28/04/2026 at 10:00 - 12:00. Any issues in the meantime, please do not hesitate to email: danny.samuels@networkrail.co.uk Please note that this is not a call for competition, it is solely a market engagement exercise and no direct business will be awarded as a result of participating in this exercise. Further responding to this engagement will not in any way advantage or disadvantage any supplier in a future procurement exercise.
