UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rail Delivery Group, supported by the Department for Transport, intends to procure station surveying and landlord-consent services for the development and rollout of Welcome Point units across the UK rail network. The partner will survey station sites to assess feasibility and identify suitable locations, then coordinate the formal permissions needed before installation. The programme anticipates deploying up to 1,000 Welcome Point units across the national rail network over three years. This is a services contract covering building surveying, railway station construction support and railway transport support services. It will suit organisations able to work across multiple rail stations and coordinate with station landlords and other parties involved in approving and delivering accessibility infrastructure.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Rail Delivery Group has announced its intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. The buyer expects to use a competitive flexible procedure under an open procurement, with English-language submissions. The planned contract is above threshold and has an estimated value of £1,800,000 excluding VAT, or £2,160,000 including VAT. One lot is planned. The buyer currently expects the tender process to close on 25 September 2026, evaluation and award to conclude by 23 October 2026, and the contract to run from 30 October 2026 to 27 February 2029. An extension may take the contract to 27 February 2030 at the buyer’s discretion. The dates remain subject to change while the specification and evaluation criteria are developed. Evaluation is expected to be 70% technical quality and 30% commercial.

This will suit building surveying practices, rail engineering consultancies and specialist infrastructure partners with the capacity to survey numerous operational railway stations and support a national accessibility programme. Relevant strengths include feasibility assessment, site investigation, understanding of station layouts and constraints, and the ability to identify practical locations for modular Welcome Point installations. Suppliers should be prepared to coordinate landlord consents and other formal permissions, bringing structured stakeholder management alongside technical surveying. Experience of railway environments, station construction interfaces and transport-sector requirements would place a supplier well for the planned technical-quality-led evaluation. Organisations that can combine field teams, consistent survey methods, clear reporting and permission coordination across the UK should begin preparing their evidence and delivery approach before the procurement reaches the market.
