Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London has been managing a procurement process for the London Trams' Depot and Infrastructure Project. This initiative focuses on constructing additional facilities, including a stabling road for three trams and a permanent store building. Classified under the works category, the procurement process was initially active under a selective method, involving the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS) to identify potential suppliers. The project's procurement stage encountered a significant update, as on 3rd September 2025, the tender process was cancelled following a strategic review by Transport for London. Key past deadlines included the enquiry period lasting until 2nd September 2025 and the tender submission deadline set for 23rd September 2025. The initiative was situated in London, United Kingdom, with a total estimated value of £4.56 million.

This tender offered substantial opportunities for growth to businesses within the construction and railway supply sectors, particularly those experienced with railway-track construction materials and steel frame installations. Companies registered under RISQS and possessing the necessary industry-specific qualifications could have benefited by leveraging this project to expand their portfolio and gain a foothold in the urban transport infrastructure space. Although the tender has been cancelled, businesses that had prepared bids could use this experience to position themselves competitively for future opportunities with Transport for London or similar projects elsewhere.
