Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured civil engineering and railway infrastructure works to design, supply and install remedial measures to the cuttings between North Acton and Hanger Lane. The requirement covers railway embankment and London Underground works, including detailed design, access arrangements and associated third-party works needed to deliver the accepted design. It is a works contract for activity in London. The procurement was intended for suppliers able to undertake substantial rail and civil engineering projects, particularly cutting remediation, piling and related construction works. TfL is the public-sector buyer and infrastructure owner, with the works focused on the North Acton–Hanger Lane route rather than a general construction requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skanska Construction UK Limited following an open competitive flexible procedure. Six suppliers submitted valid final-stage tenders. The award was made on 28 May 2026, with a value of £20 million excluding VAT (£24 million including VAT). The signed contract is active, dated 19 August 2026, and runs from 19 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 65% and commercial price at 35%; participation required turnover of at least £15 million. The arrangement has two stages: detailed design and access planning, followed by delivery if TfL issues a notice to proceed. The contract includes an option to implement the delivery stage.

This award indicates demand from TfL for established rail and civil engineering contractors able to manage complex London Underground infrastructure works from design through construction. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in piling design, piling installation and related supply, cutting remediation, railway embankment construction, access coordination and third-party interfaces. Relevant rail assurance is important: the process used RISQS supplier data and referred to London Underground infrastructure, Sentinel and principal-contractor licensing requirements. Suppliers would also need the financial capacity to support a contract of this scale, with a minimum turnover threshold of £15 million used here. Strong technical delivery, accurate payment applications, productive site access, quality assurance, collaborative working and compliance with approved safe systems of work were central performance expectations.
