Egis in the UK & Ireland has been awarded a place on Transport for London’s (TfL) Professional Services Framework, which will see the company provide programme and project management services over the course of a multi-year contract.
The company’s appointment is expected to position the firm to contribute to improvements across TfL’s full range of transport modes, including the London Underground, London Overground, DLR, bus network and wider city infrastructure.
Through the Programme & Project Management Lot, Egis will provide support for schemes throughout their full lifecycle, from early-stage business case development through to delivery, with the latter set to be undertaken through a joint venture partnership with a UK based SME specialising in programme management services.
Egis will provide specialist commercial and procurement advice across TfL’s operations, including early market engagement, supplier soundings and the development of procurement strategies, alongside support through tender evaluation, negotiation and contract award.
Currently; TfL’s business plan outlines the potential for both a number of major and complex programmes set to take place across the transport network, all of which are developed and confirmed, and are expected to require strong programme and commercial management capability in order to ensure effective delivery.
Egis’s appointment aims to strengthen the company’s presence in London’s metro and underground sector, building on previous work with Network Rail and major UK transport programmes. It is underpinned by the firm’s international experience in delivering large-scale metro and urban transport systems, such a its involvement in Grand Paris Metro.
Robert Wade, Transportation Commercial Director and Head of Professional Services at Egis in the UK & Ireland, said:TfL is one of the world’s great transport authorities, demanding, complex, and constantly innovating. That’s exactly where Egis wants to be.
We’re bringing our global experience to London, including lessons from Grand Paris Metro, one of Europe’s most ambitious metro programmes, but we’re just as excited about what we’ll take away from working alongside TfL’s teams.
You can't deliver complex infrastructure well without genuine partnership and collaboration. That's what we're committed to building with TfL. Together, we can help deliver the transport infrastructure that enables London to thrive.
