Summary of the contracting process

The Infrastructure Improvement Framework, led by Transport for London (TfL), has reached its award stage. TfL, based in London, is a public undertaking and buyer in this procurement, focusing on delivering multi-disciplinary infrastructure and construction projects. The awarded framework agreement, which was initially signed on 11th June 2026, spans from 11th June 2026 to 2nd July 2028, with a potential extension up to 2nd July 2030. Managed through a competitive flexible procedure, the contract emphasises collaborative project development from design to construction. The estimated value of awarded projects ranges from £500 million to £700 million, encompassing major upgrades like the Elephant & Castle and South Kensington Station Capacity Upgrade. The procurement method was selective, adopting an early contractor involvement and multi-stage contracting model, allowing call-off contracts to be awarded through direct allocation or mini-competition processes.

This framework presents significant opportunities for large construction companies, as it promises a steady pipeline of infrastructure projects, providing a platform for long-term business growth. Companies specialising in construction, installation services, and engineering services, particularly those capable of executing complex urban and transport-related projects, are well-suited to benefit from this framework. With a total project value of up to £700 million, the framework supports systematic allocation and performance-based project distribution, aligning with TfL's equitable allocation principles. This offers substantial potential for continued partnership and growth in the infrastructure domain, allowing businesses to engage in high-value projects and expand their portfolios within London's thriving construction sector.

Notice Title

Infrastructure Improvement Framework

Notice Description

This notice confirms the contract details of TfL's Infrastructure Improvement Framework for the delivery of multi-disciplinary infrastructure and construction projects including early contractor involvement, design and construction and build works. The framework will adopt an early contractor involvement and multi-stage contracting model enabling collaborative working with the framework contractors from early stage development of projects through design and into construction and completion. TfL has appointed three contractors to the framework and the framework contractors will be engaged through call-off contracts for project delivery. Projects will be allocated to framework contractors on a direct allocation basis, such allocation being monitored and re-visited throughout. Framework contractors will be allocated a workbank of projects in line with the equitable allocation principles of the framework and TfL may subsequently award call-off contracts. TfL has also reserved the right to award call-off contracts following a mini-competition procedure. TfL anticipates delivering a number of projects through the Infrastructure Improvement Framework including Elephant & Castle Station Capacity Upgrade, South Kensington Station Capacity Upgrade, Trams Rolling Stock Replacement Power and Depot and Infrastructure Works and TfL's Step Free Access programme. Additional projects may be added to the pipeline for delivery through the framework, throughout its duration. It is estimated that the total value of projects to be awarded through the framework will be between PS500m - PS700m.
