Description
Transport for London (TfL) will be issuing a Tender for the Design and Build of Depot Fire Hydrants, at 2 depots which are Queens Park Sidings and Triangle Sidings.
An MSQ was published on the 05/11/2025, with the procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-051a98 which obtained market feedback and supplier appetite, capability and capacity. TfL selected the suppliers who engaged and expressed an interest for the Tender Stage. The results from the findings were used to help shape the procurement strategy.
The purpose of the contract is for the design and build of Depot Fire Hydrants at 2 locations listed above whilst ensuring value for money.
The currently installed hydrant systems at certain depots do not meet current regulations and British Standards (BS) due to the age of the systems, so an upgrade is required as the readings at the locations tested were below the levels stipulated in BS and TfL standards. In case of a fire, the system is unable to supply water at the required pressure and flow rate to extinguish fires.
The requirement of the procurement is to appoint a principal contractor to undertake works to ensure that fire hydrant systems at the 2 locations are fully operable, in good working condition and in full compliance with relevant safety legislations associated with the hydrant system - BS and TFL standards.
Please note the value published at MSQ has reduced as the business descoped (North Shed of Queens Park) part of the works to be carried out.
