The government has put firms on notice for a £360m engineering and design role to lead a programme of work at Euston Station.

The Department for Transport has announced a preliminary market engagement notice for an engineering and design partner to support delivery of the Euston programme.

The DfT is establishing the Euston Delivery Company (EDC) to lead delivery of a renewed, fully integrated transport gateway of national and local significance at Euston and support the associated commercial property development.

It says the Euston programme “sits at the heart” of Camden Council and the Greater London Authority’s wider plans for commercial and housing development in the Euston area and includes upgrades to the existing mainline station, significant enhancements to the London Underground Interchange, improvements to local bus and taxi facilities and the development of a new high-speed station.

Detailed design and construction of the new HS2 station is expected to be delivered by a private finance partner, procured separately and subject to separate preliminary market engagement.

The successful partner for the wider scheme will lead design, engineering, masterplanning, programme planning and scheduling and engage with a wide range of stakeholders including HS2, Network Rail, Transport for London and London Borough of Camden/Greater London Authority.

The brief also includes working closely with the appointed Euston master-planner Lendlease and its commissioned architects.

The DfT said is is looking for firms with “proven experience in delivering designs for complex, multi-modal transport infrastructure” and the capability to “to lead multidisciplinary design across high-speed and conventional rail, underground, and public realm integration”.

The contract core term is currently expected to be five years, with the option to extend for some or all of the capabilities through detail design and construction.

Publication date of tender notice is expected in May next year, with the contract  expected to start in January 2027.

Market engagement is set to to take place from mid to end of November 2025, with firms needing to formally express their interest by 7 November via the Jaggaer online portal.
