London Underground (LU) is pressing ahead with the use of its Innovative Contractor Engagement (ICE) procurement model on two new schemes, NCE can reveal. The pioneering procurement model is to be next used on the £55M project to link Bakerloo Line and Crossrail platforms at Paddington station before then being used on the £250M Holborn station upgrade. Using the ICE model, LU assesses bids on the added value of their proposal, rather than on lowest cost. Bidders are also rewarded for ideas presented at tender stage even if their bid is unsuccessful.
