Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is engaged in the procurement and delivery of the "CVLR City Centre First Contractor" project, which falls under the construction industry category. The project centres on constructing the Coventry Very Light Rail (CVLR) test tracks, with locations in Whitley and Dudley, and aims to advance to a City Centre First demonstrator stage to validate the track form's real-world feasibility. The competitive dialogue procurement process concluded with the award stage on 6th February 2025, valued at £569,347.37. Colas Rail Limited has been selected as the supplier for this project, which is set in the City of Coventry, a project listed under the reference 'COV-17830' with significant emphasis on infrastructure works.

The project's focus on sustainable transportation solutions is expected to open the city for more investment along the Coventry Very Light Rail route. Businesses involved in low-cost installation, environmentally clean technologies, and infrastructure development would find strong alignment with the project's goals, enabling them to leverage their expertise to gain growth and visibility in a live urban environment.
