Summary of the contracting process

First Trenitalia West Coast Rail Limited procured retail estate management services, administered by First Rail Holdings Limited. The work covers 16 directly managed stations and all property within their leases, including station buildings, car parks and other land and property. The estate contains retail, office, residential, community and other commercial tenancies held through leases and licences. The purpose is to increase rental income and improve customer service through capital and tenant investment. The scope includes management of the station property estate and its occupiers. Station car parking management and commercial advertising are excluded. This is a public-sector rail-related property and commercial management requirement, delivered across the buyer’s directly managed station estate.

The procurement is complete and AMEY TPT LIMITED was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,100,000 excluding VAT, or £1,320,000 including VAT. The contract runs from 11 December 2026 to 10 December 2029, with an optional one-year extension available to 10 December 2030. It was an above-threshold selective procurement using a competitive flexible procedure, with a pre-qualification stage followed by negotiation and final evaluation. One bid reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted quality submission at 45%, price at 40%, contract and KPIs at 10%, and environmental, social and governance factors at 5%. The contract is subject to utilities procurement rules, and TUPE applies.

This award shows demand from a rail operator for specialist management of a sizeable, mixed-use station property estate, with a strong commercial focus on growing rental income. Credible competitors for a future requirement would need experience managing leases and licences across retail, office, residential, community and other commercial premises, together with the operational capability to manage tenants and improve customer service. The buyer also values proposals for capital and tenant investment, measurable contract performance and KPIs, and credible environmental, social and governance outcomes. Suppliers should be able to manage the employment implications of TUPE and work within the contractual arrangements required for a rail-related public undertaking, while keeping station car parking and commercial advertising outside the service scope.
