Rail sector

Bid Management

Major rail tenders include Crossrail, Network Rail, TfL and HS2.

We understand the technical complexity of work in this sector and the key concerns of procurers – such as disruption for passengers and communities and environmental sensitivity.

We achieved high levels of success, providing bid management and writing support for our clients on Crossrail bids including Paddington, Farringdon, Whitechapel and Tottenham Court Road stations, major tunnel and station cavern tenders, Connaught Tunnel Refurbishment, Old Oak Common and Ilford depots, C610 systems wide works, C644 traction power and rolling stock.

On the £1.2bn CP5 Multi-functional Framework tender including track renewals, platform lengthening on key commuter routes, station enhancements to increase the resilience of the infrastructure, our work included bid writing, management and production.

We have supported a large number of heavy rail infrastructure tenders for projects including Reading Viaduct, East Croydon Bridge, Borders Railway, Bermondsey and Acton Diveunders and the Croxley Green Link. On the £70m Reading Viaduct, we authored the quality submission responses including HSQE, site phasing and logistics and contaminated soils mitigation, interviewing client’s technical experts and their supply chain to identify project delivery solutions, key benefits and supporting evidence to draft responses.
