Suppliers have been invited by Network Rail to tender for its Eastern Routes Partnership (ERP) Framework which is valued at around £3bn to £4bn.
The framework includes four lots that cover buildings, civils, structural and geotechnical works; signalling and telecoms; contact systems works; and distribution and plant.
The ERP Framework is broken down into various areas and covers two main levels which are “specialist” and “generalist.
