The Sydenham Station and Junction (“SSJ”) Works Package is an important package for Sydney Metro City & Southwest and its successful completion is necessary to enable the commencement of Sydney Metro City and Southwest operations to Sydenham Station in 2024.

TfNSW intends to deliver the SSJ Works Package under an Incentivised Target Cost (ITC) form of contract developed specifically for Sydney Metro to reflect the needs of construction within the complex rail operating environment, providing effective collaboration, incentivisation and flexibility to guarantee this important package is delivered within the required timeframe.

TfNSW is seeking suitably experienced and qualified relevant entities interested in partnering with TfNSW to deliver the SSJ Works Package, by registering their interest to participate in the SSJ Works Package RFP process.

The Sydenham Station and Junction (“SSJ”) Works Package for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project comprises:
* Sydenham Station works including concourse, platforms, services building and fitout (excluding linewide contracts);
* Sydenham junction works, including civil works, trackwork, overhead traction power, signalling and train control systems for the remodelling of Sydenham Junction;
