Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Transport for London (TfL) is initiating the procurement process for the "Beckton Depot Upgrade," which is part of the Docklands Light Railway's Rolling Stock Replacement Programme. This project, valued between £50 million and £100 million, involves extending the Beckton depot to accommodate 33 new trains required to replace the aging fleet and to meet the increasing service demands in the Royal Docks area. Currently in the planning stage, a supplier engagement session is scheduled for 30 October 2017 in London, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 12pm on 27 October 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and engineering, particularly those with experience in building railway depots or undertaking large-scale infrastructure projects. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms alike can benefit from participating in the market engagement to ensure their capabilities align with the project requirements. Companies should prepare to provide feedback through a forthcoming market sounding questionnaire, which will help shape TfL's procurement strategy and requirements for this critical transport infrastructure upgrade.
