Beckton Depot Upgrade

Tender description

Docklands Light Railway Limited ("DLR" - part of Transport for London) is inviting companies to participate in market engagement for the Beckton depot procurement as part of its DLR Rolling Stock Replacement Programme (RSRP). As part of the RSRP, DLR is procuring 33 new fixed formation trains to replace the life expired B90/92 fleet and 10 new fixed formation trains to meet service requirements for growth in the Royal Docks area . To facilitate the delivery of the new rolling stock, Beckton Depot will need to be extended for maintenance and stabling of the expanded fleet. It is these extension works that will be the subject of the market engagement and procurement. DLR is holding a supplier engagement session on 30 October 2017 in London. The purpose of this will be to explain the Beckton depot works requirements, scope and programme in greater detail before the procurement begins next year. Estimated value £50 - £100m. A market sounding questionnaire will be issued shortly after the event to solicit feedback from attendees on topics such as interest, packaging and some technical topics. The feedback received will be used to inform DLR's requirements and procurement strategy for the Beckton depot procurement. Submission of Expression of Interest If you would like to participate in this market engagement, please submit your expression of interest via on TfL's e-procurement portal, ProContract (https://procontract.due-north.com/) by 12pm 27 October 2017. Respondents will be sent further details of the supplier engagement session and asked to confirm whether they would like to attend.
