Notice Title

TfL NextGen - Infrastructure Improvement Framework

Notice Description

TfL currently uses multiple frameworks to deliver its capital rail infrastructure portfolio. These frameworks will soon be expiring or reaching capacity, creating an opportunity for TfL to develop its route to market strategy including options for an integrated suite of replacement frameworks. Rather than replacing like for like, TfL is considering a single pan TfL framework for capital rail projects to provide a consistent route to market and clear processes to ensure efficiency for both client and supply chain.
