The partner would support the integrated redevelopment of the Euston campus into a coherent national transport gateway, bringing together mainline railway, London Underground, bus and taxi infrastructure, including a proposed new high-speed terminus. The work could cover cost forecasting, cost challenge and benchmarking; schedule control and optimisation; value engineering; design and delivery integration; commercial advice; contract and resource scrutiny; integrated reporting; risk management; management information; and executive reporting. This is a professional services requirement covering programme management, construction consultancy, cost control, auditing and contract administration. Delivery will be centred on Euston in London. This procurement is at the planning stage: the Department for Transport has announced an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The expected requirement is one planned lot. The buyer is considering the route to market and whether to appoint a single long-term provider or reprocure between programme phases. A subsequent notice is currently expected around 15 April 2027, subject to development of the procurement. The planned contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2042. The scope, estimated contract value, start date, duration and procurement timings remain under development, so these should be treated as indicative rather than settled terms. The procurement is treated as a utilities-related service requirement. The requirement should suit established programme assurance, project management consultancy, construction consultancy, cost management, audit or commercial advisory firms able to work across a complex, multi-party transport redevelopment. Strong candidates will need to challenge cost and schedule assumptions, benchmark expenditure, assess delivery and interface risks, test design and constructability, and advise on commercial and contractual arrangements. Experience integrating railway, underground, bus and taxi infrastructure, managing interdependencies across delivery packages, and producing clear management information for senior decision-makers would be relevant. Firms should prepare for a potentially long-running programme and consider how they could provide assurance across changing phases, partner organisations and delivery models, including a possible public-private partnership. ## Notice The Euston Delivery Company (EDC) is responsible for leading the integrated redevelopment of the Euston campus and delivering a world-class transport gateway for the UK. EDC is to integrate into a reconstructed single and coherent national transport gateway, all mainline railway, London Underground, bus and taxi infrastructure at Euston (collectively known as the Euston campus), including the new high-speed terminus, for which a public-private partnership model is being explored. EDC plans to engage a Programme Challenge and Assurance Partner [P-CAP] to support in the delivery of the Euston Programme. The scope of the PCAP's responsibilities will be refined over coming months, but may include: 1. Cost Challenge, Control and Analysis: Forecasting the Expected Cost at Completion (ECC) of the programme, identifying key drivers of spend and benchmarking to provide and challenge estimates. 2. Schedule Control and Optimisation: Examining the programme and its pipeline of deliverables, identifying interdependencies and timings to inform strategic decision-making and optimise outcomes 3. Value Engineering and Design/Delivery Integration: Challenging design outputs, interface risks and integration issues across delivery packages and partner organisations to reduce unnecessary cost, improve constructability and protect programme schedule. 4. Commercial Optimisation and Advice: Advising on contract delivery by scrutinising planned deliverables, programme and resourcing to identify risks to deliverability and optimise value for money. 5. Programme Management and Performance: Supporting the EDC to implement integrated reporting and risk management across the programme, including providing MI and executive summary to support decision-making. EDC is likely to require services of this nature throughout the Euston Programme - however, the scope of work, route to market, estimated contract value, start date, contract duration and timings for this procurement are subject to ongoing development. EDC is particularly considering whether it would be advantageous to procure a single long term contract or to reprocure services between any particular phases of the programme. Whether or not the DfT or EDC subsequently commences a procurement and/or thereafter awards any contract related to this potential opportunity shall be solely at its discretion. Details included in this pipeline notice should not be regarded as final or as constituting a defined opportunity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089608-2026 | | Notice type | UK1 - Pipeline Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Apr 2027 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2027 - 31 Aug 2042 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Vincent Square | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71244000 - Calculation of costs, monitoring of costs - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services - 71541000 - Construction project management services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 79210000 - Accounting and auditing services - 79211000 - Accounting services - 79212000 - Auditing services - 79994000 - Contract administration services ## Release History - 22 Sep 2026 at 12:54 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089608-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089608-2026 22nd September 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
