## Summary

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned early contractor involvement for the redevelopment planning of Redcar Central Station. The service covers a gap analysis and review of existing ES2 documentation, completion of ES3 surveys, risk review, constructability assessment and feasibility work for selecting project options. This is a professional engineering and construction consultancy requirement, including railway engineering services. The work is associated with Redcar Central Station in the Tees Valley area. The buying organisation is Tees Valley Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was structured as one completed lot and concerned services rather than construction delivery itself. It would suit organisations providing specialist technical advice at the pre-construction and option-development stages of railway or transport infrastructure projects.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd was selected as supplier. Tees Valley Combined Authority used a below-threshold procedure; the published procurement method is recorded as unknown. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and began on 22 July 2026. Its stated end date is 28 October 2026, with an option to extend by six months to a maximum extent date of 28 April 2027. The contract value is £71,621.06 excluding VAT, or £85,945.28 including VAT. The tender reached complete status. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process leading to the single supplier award, covering the one lot for Redcar Central Station early contractor involvement.

This procurement shows demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for specialist early-stage advice on railway station and transport infrastructure projects. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in reviewing design and engineering documentation, carrying out surveys, identifying and managing project risks, and testing constructability and feasibility. Experience of railway engineering and construction interfaces would be particularly relevant, as would the ability to advise on options and translate technical findings into practical recommendations. The work points to a requirement for an established construction or engineering consultancy able to combine technical surveying, risk assessment, design review and delivery planning. Suppliers should be able to support a public-sector client through pre-construction decisions for a live station project.
