Contractual Framework
Network Rail has consulted extensively with industry, customers and stakeholders (promoters) that have an interest in undertaking enhancement projects in the rail network.
A key objective is to encourage investment in rail enhancements by finding solutions that reduce barriers to entry and the need for time-consuming negotiations on contractual arrangements for each scheme.
In the light of experience in the first few years of using the template agreements and in response to the views expressed by our customers, Network Rail is revising the templates agreements.
