Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN) is procuring surveys of fire protection in ceiling and roof voids across its railway depots. The work is to assess existing fire breaks, fire stopping and other fire-prevention measures, and review whether void protection aligns with the current fire alarm system. Suppliers must produce a scope of works for the required roof-void protection, including fire breaks and fire stopping to existing walls. The procurement is divided into three geographical lots: Bedford, Peterborough, Letchworth and Welwyn; London depots including Selhurst, Battersea, Hornsey, Streatham Hill and Cricklewood; and Sussex depots including Brighton, Bognor Regis, Hove, Littlehampton and Horsham.

TSGN invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, using an initial participation stage followed by an invitation to tender. The enquiry deadline was 20 November 2026 at 16:00, and the expression-of-interest deadline was 27 November 2026 at 17:00. The planned contract period for each lot is 26 April 2027 to 25 April 2028, with award due by 16 April 2027. The gross estimated values are £168,000 for the Bedford and surrounding depots lot, £204,000 for the London lot, and £168,000 for the Sussex lot; the overall stated gross value is £540,000. For each lot, evaluation assigns 60% to technical questions and 40% to the pricing proposal. SMEs are identified as suitable for all three lots.

This opportunity suits fire-protection and fire-safety survey specialists able to inspect depot ceiling and roof voids, assess fire breaks and fire stopping, and examine protection in relation to installed fire alarm systems. Suppliers need to turn survey findings into a considered, practical scope of remedial works, including protection to voids and fire stopping at existing walls. The three separate geographical lots allow suppliers to focus on the Bedford and surrounding depots, London, or Sussex; the buyer has indicated that SMEs are suitable across all lots. Technical quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate a strong technical approach to inspections, assessment and reporting, alongside a competitive pricing proposal. The requirement concerns multiple railway depots within TSGN’s estate. Only the technical and pricing elements of evaluation are described here; the detailed technical questions will determine the evidence bidders need to provide.
