This notice confirmed Docklands Light Railway Limited (DLRL), which is part of Transport for London, intention to award Thamesmead Extension Early Works to Amey Rail Limited as a call-off contract under TfL's Infrastructure Improvement Framework. The proposed contract will be delivered through 3 stages:-

  • Stage 1 (Split into two substages)

Stage 1.1: mobilisation, scheme programme and assumption review, identification of risk and mitigations, early works definition and survey scoping.

Stage 1.2: completion of the agreed surveys and investigations, development of the Stage 2 scope and requirements, progressive estimating, programme development, risk assessment and preparation of the Stage 2 commercial arrangements.

  • Stage 2: delivery of the defined early works

In accordance with the framework allocation process as described in Schedule 7, the DLR Thamesmead Extension Early works was allocated to Amey.

The Thamesmead Extension will consist of:

An extension of the DLR east from Gallions Reach

New tunnel crossing of the River Thames.

The initial commitment under the contract is limited to Stage 1.1. Progression to Stage 1.2 and 2 are subject to completion of Stage 1.1, confirmation of affordability, receipt of the necessary approvals and satisfaction of the contractual conditions for progression. The price for Stage 1.2 and 2 has not yet been agreed and will be developed during Stage 1.1. The contract value stated in this notice therefore includes an estimate for the potential Stage 1.2 and 2 works and should not be interpreted as an agreed or committed total price.
