Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 06:34.

Opportunity overview

This procurement covers the provision of renewals and certain enhancements works on the Metrolink and Rail networks, and other works applicable to TfGM owned and/or managed infrastructure. TfGM are exploring options to procure a contracting partner or partners to meet the on-going demands of renewing and enhancing the Metrolink and Rail networks into the future funding cycle. The overriding objective of the new delivery model is to enable TfGM to deliver Metrolink and Rail renewals and enhancements as well as other schemes, in the most efficient manner from a time, cost and quality perspective. The purpose of this Market Engagement exercise is to determine market interest to inform how best to procure a contracting partner or partners to meet the programme objectives: • To determine the capabilities in the market for the intended scope of the renewal and enhancement programme; • To determine the capacity in the market to meet the intended renewal & enhancements programme • The key objectives for a new delivery model are therefore to simplify the route to market, noting the relatively tight time pressures in what is necessarily a significantly reactive capital space, and a more straightforward way of coordinating network access. All market engagement documents are available to be downloaded from ProContract once an interest is expressed, responses are to be sent via the messaging function on ProContract - ref DN770111 www.procontract.due-north.com
