Tender description

CVLR is designed to provide the backbone of an integrated public transport system linking together heavy rail, with flexible electric bus services and last mile options such as micro mobility and on demand services. The objective of this system is to encourage modal shift from the car, improving air quality, reducing congestion, attracting inward investment, and improving connectivity between communities, health care, employment, education, and retail. In order to achieve this ambition, Coventry City Council need to develop a test construction site of the track system. This is to measure and analyse the vibration impacts and track performance under the loading produced by CVLR vehicle. This PIN is to enable an expression of interest of parties that may wish to tender for the construction activity associated with this test site. The PIN will be live for 35 days as per the procurement regulations. Interested parties will then be required to sign an NDA. Prior to submitting tenders CCC intend to arrange an engagement session to outline the project in detail (this could be subject to change to an alternative arrangement). This will then result in a single stage tender and award process.

About the buyer

Coventry City Council is a local authority serving the city of Coventry, with its own procurement service. Larger opportunities are advertised through CSW-JETS, a shared e-tendering portal with Solihull and Warwickshire. The three councils have run this joint tendering system since 2010. Find a Tender, the government's central digital platform, carries the very largest contracts too. That national route has applied since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect in February 2025. Bids are judged on price alone or under the Most Advantageous Tender method. Quality and social value count alongside cost under that approach.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Coventry City Council's contract awards have been in IT services, health and social work and construction work.
