Network Rail Eastern Region launches new partnership to oversee its CP7 works

Network Rail Eastern Region has outlined the framework of its Eastern Routes Partnership (ERP) which will be in place for the whole Control Period 7 (CP7).

The ERP aims to streamline the processes needed to ensure engineering works take place and will remove the need for individual procurement processes to take place for projects. The partnership overseeing ERP will be consisted of NR as well as multiple engineering companies including Amey, Atkins Realis, AmcoGiffen, Keltbray, Morgan Sindall, Octavius, and Story.
