Axial were again successful in supporting Balfour Beatty to secure three valuable frameworks for their new signalling business unit. Engaged during the PQQ stage we worked closely with BB’s senior management to devise a credible bid and delivery strategy for a new player in the market place. Utilising our expert knowledge of the rail sector and history of developing successful tenders we were able to secure the three most valuable frameworks, a significant achievement against experienced contractors. The workscope includes like for like replacement of signalling assets to templated design. The frameworks are for the duration of control period 6 with the potential to be extended into CP7 and demonstrate the huge spend that Network Rail are committing to signalling renewals.

Axial has maintained their 100% win ratio in support of Balfour Beatty. Axial again provided bid leadership and bid writing services to generate three more contract wins for BB and another new client in the shape of  Transport for Wales. The three packages were

• Complex Pway
• Non Complex Pway
• Traction Power
