Summary of the contracting process

Balfour Beatty VINCI Systra JV procured the design, manufacture, supply, installation and assurance of the cladding envelope and architectural metalwork for the HS2 Old Oak Common station accommodation blocks, lift and escalator electrical rooms, central concourse core and platform columns in London. The package covers an external glass-wall lining system with opaque fixed glazing, stainless-steel linings, flashings and skirting, louvred screens, overclad doors, walkway grilles and stainless-steel platform-column covers. Work also includes construction and fabrication drawings with interface and connection details, samples and prototypes, materials, labour, supervision, plant and equipment, assurance documentation, and coordination with other project parties. This is specialist station cladding and architectural metalwork work, rather than a general building fit-out.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sorba UK on 12 October 2025. The award is active, with the contract period running from 4 March 2026 to 20 November 2028. The award value is recorded as £0; the tender estimate was £10 million to £20 million. The process described a shortlist followed by an invitation to tender through an external ERP system. Tenderers were to be assessed competitively across health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ), commercial, programme and methodology criteria, with particular attention to working in a track environment. The precise scoring criteria were still being developed in the process description. The original submission deadline was 20 March 2024. The package was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Balfour Beatty VINCI Systra JV, this award indicates demand for an integrated cladding and architectural-metalwork package in a major station environment. A credible competitor would need to develop buildable designs and fabrication details, manage interfaces with other project parties, produce samples and prototypes, and deliver materials and installation with suitable labour, supervision, plant and equipment. The described assessment emphasised HSEQ, commercial delivery, programme performance and methodology, particularly the ability to work in a track environment. Suppliers should be able to provide assurance documentation and coordinate installation across accommodation areas, lift and escalator electrical rooms, concourse cores and platform structures. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller firms with the relevant specialist capability may be well placed to compete.
