Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Exeter St. Davids Passenger Assisted Lounge Design & Build" was initiated by FIRST GREATER WESTERN LIMITED, located in Wiltshire, UK. The project aimed to create a modular passenger assisted lounge at Exeter St Davids Station, aligning with Network Rail's construction schedule. The procurement process, classified under the industry category for modular and portable buildings, followed an open procedure and was initially in the tender stage, with tenders closing on 7th July 2025. However, the contract was later cancelled on 21st October 2025, after an initial contract award on 24th August 2025 to ELM SITE SERVICES LIMITED for £457,492.

Despite the cancellation, this tender illustrates significant opportunities for businesses involved in temporary and modular building solutions, particularly those that can offer innovative designs suitable as temporary facilities during extensive public infrastructure works. Companies specialising in modular construction, particularly SMEs, would find opportunities in similar procurements that aim to provide accessibility solutions amid construction phases. Such tenders also typically demand a balance of quality and cost-efficiency, with tender evaluation criteria weighing heavily on both aspects, thus providing an eco-system for value-driven competitive market entries.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Exeter St.Davids Passenger Assisted Lounge Design & Build

Notice Description

Exeter St Davids Station lifts serving platforms 1 to 6 are scheduled for renewed by Network Rail (NR) commencing in January 2026. As part of NR's Construction Phase Plan (CPP), all lifts will be out of operational service at the same time for the duration of works, which is envisaged to be up to six months. The rationale is to shorten the overall programme of works, reducing the disruption to passengers and colleagues rather than by taking one lift out of service at a time. To maintain GWRs contractual obligations for accessibility during these renewals, a business requirement for this project is to design and install a new modular passenger assisted travel lounge as a temporary facility, to manage and support the day-to-day station operations at Exeter St Davids Station.
