Revised Procurement Plan for Rock and Civil Engineering Contracts – Yellow Line
The administration for extended metro have updated the procurement strategy and contract packaging regarding rock and civil engineering for the new Yellow Line to Älvsjö. The change entails the following:
- The TBM contract will comprise tunnel driving using TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) as well as four stations. The contract includes the detailed design and construction of tunnels using TBM from the Älvsjö depot to Fridhemsplan, as well as the construction of four rock caverns for the stations Älvsjö, Östbergahöjden, Årstaberg, and Årstafältet. At the start of the contract, initial works will have been completed, serving as access points for the contract works: Launch pit for the TBM, access tunnels in Älvsjö and Årstaberg, Vertical shaft down to roof level at Östbergahöjden, Vertical shaft through the soil layers at Årstafältet.
- The vertical shaft at Östbergahöjden will be executed as a separate contract.
- Liljeholmen and Fridhemsplan stations remain as separate contracts.
- Other Rock Contracts (working tunnels and geotechnical structures) are not affected by these changes.
By merging several station contracts with the TBM contract, the contractor is given greater opportunity to plan their work and allocate resources. This also simplifies critical interfaces between contracts, thereby reducing the risk of delays.

Sustainability an important aspect of procurement
The new metro is to meet the demands of both current and future generations as regards environmental, social and economic sustainability. Close and fruitful collaboration between us as the principal and our contractors is a must if we are to succeed in this.
We have strict requirements for materials, structure and working methods in our procurements. This enables us to influence how much the expansion impacts the environment. This also applies to social and economic sustainability, with requirements regarding, for example, the work environment and business ethics.
Procurement procedure
About procurement
We procure in compliance with the Swedish Utilities Procurement Act (LUF, 2016:1146). Our procurements are conducted fully open to international competition.
Which procurements are currently under way and which are planned can be seen in our procurement timetable, which is updated roughly every other month.
Qualification
We use the TransQ qualification system for selecting suppliers who are to submit tenders in contract procurements. TransQ is an internet-based supplier registration and qualification system operated by the company Achilles on behalf of the leading Nordic transport organisations.
You need to contact Achilles System to arrange your registration and pre-qualification in TransQ. The registration process can take several weeks. An annual administration fee is charged for registration in TransQ
Only companies pre-qualified in TransQ at the time of the selection and under the relevant codes for the procurement may submit a tender.
The purpose of qualification is to ensure that the supplier has the legal and financial ability as well as the technical and professional capacity required to conduct the assignment being procured. The qualification requirements can be set already during selection or later in conjunction with tendering.
How each procurement is conducted, which codes are planned to be used for the selection and the qualification deadlines are presented in the procurement timetable.
Invitation to tender
The tenderers who have qualified for the procurement via TransQ are invited to tender via TendSign. To participate in a procurement, you need to register an account at TendSign. You can register up to ten user accounts under each corporate ID free of charge.
The invitation to tender will include a link to the technical specifications, which will detail how the procurement is to be conducted, the requirements for tenderers and tenders, a description of the contract and the contract terms and conditions.
During the tender period, it will be possible to ask questions as well as participate in project reviews and viewings of sites when necessary and when possible.
Tenders are to be submitted via TendSign.
