UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London is planning to uplift the capacity of South Kensington Station through a detailed design and build project. The tender, initiated on 4th June 2025, focuses on works within the construction industry and is slated to begin at the end of December 2025, lasting until March 2030. The procurement process, currently in the planning stage, will progress into a two-stage contract involving detailed design followed by construction. Businesses interested in participating should keep an eye out for the future notice expected by 5th October 2025. The project is located in London, under the jurisdiction of a public authority within central government.

This procurement represents significant opportunities for companies specialising in construction work, particularly those with experience in transport infrastructure projects. Given Transport for London's role as the contracting authority, successful bidders will gain substantial visibility and credibility in the sector. The detailed design and subsequent construction phases offer growth potential for firms adept at large-scale projects, design innovation, and in delivering improvements to urban transport environments. Businesses with strong collaborative capabilities and project management skills will be well-positioned to compete for a role in this ambitious upgrade project.
