en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA), through its subsidiary Merseytravel, has launched a £12 million electrical engineering framework to support the maintenance, asset renewal, and infrastructure upgrades of transport network and operational assets.

The four-year framework, running from September 2026 to September 2030, will provide a procurement route for various electrical works at stations, terminals, depots, tunnels, park-and-ride facilities, and other assets managed by the authority. The total estimated value of the framework is £12 million (excluding VAT), divided into two lots covering maintenance services and capital works.

Lot 1, valued at £5.6 million, will appoint a single supplier to deliver electrical maintenance, testing, and minor works. The contractor will be responsible for planned preventive maintenance, statutory inspections, reactive repairs, fault finding, emergency call-outs, and minor improvement works on Merseytravel assets, aiming to provide a single point of accountability for day-to-day electrical services and asset management.

Lot 2, valued at £6.4 million, will establish a multi-supplier framework appointing up to four contractors to execute electrical capital works, lifecycle asset renewals, and infrastructure upgrades. Projects may include the replacement and refurbishment of switchgear, transformers, substations, distribution systems, lighting installations, backup power infrastructure, control systems, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Projects under this lot are typically awarded through mini-competitions among framework suppliers, with contract evaluation criteria including price, quality, technical advantages, delivery capability, and social value.

According to a tender notice published on June 16, the framework will support the authority's objectives in operational resilience, asset reliability, and sustainability. The scope of works covers low-voltage and high-voltage electrical systems, including inspection, testing, commissioning, decommissioning, and associated civil engineering support works. Interested bidders must submit their tenders by July 13, with the contract award expected on August 26.
