PRESS RELEASE

19 March 2021

Costain, the smart infrastructure solutions company, has been awarded a place on Network Rail's Operational Programme Delivery framework.

For up to the next six years, Costain will provide specialist client-side project management consultancy services for Network Rail nationally to manage and assure the delivery of complex decarbonisation, climate change and digitisation programmes.

Under the framework, Costain has already secured its first commission to support the delivery of Network Rail's national weather resilience programme, addressing the impacts of climate change on the railway.

Costain will be supported by specialist SME and railway consultant, Schofield Lothian.

Network Rail's regional teams will procure project management services which support the development of critical national programmes, such as digital train control and signalling, and electrification, through this centralised framework. These programmes exemplify Network Rail's commitment to putting passengers first and creating a more sustainable and reliable railway which offers more capacity for customers.
