Summary of the contracting process

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited, a central government public authority based in London, is in the planning stage for the construction of a new railway station. The project, titled "Wixam/Universal Station", aims to support Universal Studios and falls under the industry category of railway station construction work. Located in the United Kingdom, the procurement process identifies as a works category with an estimated contract period from 17th February 2027 to 1st November 2030. The planning stage has been formalised with the publication of a planned procurement notice on 20th June 2025, and a future notice is expected by 1st December 2025. Unfortunately, a subsequent tender status update has noted a withdrawal of the process, with termination details published on 26th June 2025.

This tender presents potential opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its suitability criteria. The project’s substantial value, indicated by a gross amount of £300 million, creates a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in major construction works, infrastructure development, and project management. Companies with experience in railway infrastructure or those looking to expand into this sector could find significant prospects for growth and diversification through participation in this process, once it is reinitiated.
