The £300 million redevelopment of Bond Street Tube station, coupled with the new Crossrail station, will transform the Bond Street area.
The following pre-qualified organisations have been invited to tender:
- Taylor Woodrow / BAM Nuttall joint venture
- Laing O'Rourke / Batchy Soletanche / Costain joint venture
- Balfour Beatty
It is anticipated that a contract will be awarded by summer 2010. Main construction is due to begin in late 2010, with the redevelopment of the station completed in early 2017.
Miles Ashley, Head of London Underground Station Capacity Programme said: "By 2017, Bond Street will be served by both London Underground and Crossrail.
"Work will start later this year to increase capacity by creating a new station entrance and ticket hall on the north side of Oxford Street and installing additional escalators and passageways below ground including a passenger link to Bond Street Crossrail station.
"In addition, the station will be made accessible, with step-free access from the street to all platforms and interchanges."
