Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN) is seeking a new fixed maintenance gantry at Selhurst Depot in London. The works cover the full design, manufacture, installation, testing, commissioning and assurance of the structure, including civil and groundworks and utility work. The gantry is to run for approximately 250 metres along a maintenance road. It must support access from both sides of trains to equipment below solebar level, train bodysides and interiors, and roofs along the full length of each vehicle. Retractable or movable stepped archways at gangway positions are required for roof access and fall protection. The design must allow for future rolling-stock fleet changes without significant modification to the gantry. The procurement is for railway infrastructure construction and engineering works, including gantry supply and installation.

TSGN invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, using an initial tender, dialogue, a final tender and a best and final offer stage. This is a single-lot requirement, with the contract period set from 7 May 2027 to 31 March 2028. The stated gross value is £1.8 million. The buyer set 9 October 2026 at 17:00 for enquiries and 16 October 2026 at 23:59 for expressions of interest. The award decision period is scheduled to end on 19 April 2027. Evaluation places 65% weight on the technical submission and 35% on the commercial pricing proposal. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Electronic submission is not allowed; the stated submission language is English.

This opportunity suits contractors able to deliver an integrated railway depot infrastructure project, rather than suppliers of gantry components alone. Relevant capability includes structural and gantry design, fabrication, civil engineering and groundworks, utility coordination, installation, testing, commissioning and assurance against current Network Rail standards and specifications. Suppliers will need to design for safe maintenance access to train roofs, bodysides and underframe equipment on both sides of the maintenance road, including suitable fall protection and access at gangways. The requirement also calls for a flexible design that can accommodate future rolling-stock changes without significant gantry works. The substantial technical weighting favours bidders able to demonstrate a strong technical solution as well as competitive pricing. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller firms may compete, including through specialist delivery capability.
