TVCA - Programme de transport

Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement to help inform the future commercial and procurement approach for the delivery of its transport investment programme. The programme represents a significant investment in transport across Tees Valley, intended to improve connectivity, support economic growth and employment, and provide a more integrated and sustainable transport network. The programme encompasses investment across a broad range of transport infrastructure and services, including rail, highways, bus and public transport infrastructure, active travel, and transport technology and innovation. Delivery of the programme is expected to generate a diverse range of requirements and opportunities across the transport and infrastructure supply chain. At this stage, TVCA has not finalised how individual requirements will be packaged or procured. It is anticipated that the programme will involve multiple procurement exercises and contracting opportunities, which will be developed and advertised separately as the programme progresses. TVCA is also exploring the development of a programme-wide supplier ecosystem to support effective collaboration between TVCA, delivery partners and the wider supply chain. This includes consideration of the potential use of the Framework Alliance Contract (FAC-1) to support programme-level collaboration, alongside opportunities to strengthen engagement with local suppliers, SMEs and the wider supply chain. TVCA held an initial Transport Programme Supplier Launch Event on 9th November 2026 to introduce the programme and share its emerging approach with the market. Due to venue capacity, attendance at the event was limited and invitations were issued to a range of suppliers and organisations with a focus where possible on regional businesses. Following the event, TVCA will publish the presentation materials alongside a Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire, providing all interested organisations, regardless of whether they attended the event, with an opportunity to review the information presented and provide feedback. Feedback received through this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise will be used to inform TVCA's ongoing commercial and procurement planning. No procurement routes, contracting arrangements or packaging decisions have been finalised at this stage. Any subsequent procurement opportunities will be subject to separate procurement processes and advertised as appropriate.
