As the Passenger Transport Executive for Tyne and Wear, Nexus is responsible for the maintenance of public transport networks across the region, including the Tyne and Wear Metro. Nexus is undertaking a project, known as MetroGo, to upgrade the Metro's signalling system. This new system will improve journey times, reliability and safety, and pave the way for the future expansion of the Metro network. Whilst the project remains subject to final funding decisions, the MetroGo Strategic Outline Business Case was approved by the Government in July 2025 and the outline business case is expected to be submitted in late 2026. Estimated to cost in the region of £400 million the MetroGo project will involve the supply of a range of goods, services and works, including enabling civils work, system supply, trackside installation, vehicle fitment, control centre design, build and fit out, and ongoing maintenance of all of the above. Nexus is undertaking preliminary market engagement in advance of procurement activities which are scheduled to commence in 2027/28. The market engagement will provide an overview of the project and emerging procurement strategy and is seeking valuable insights from the market as it develops those plans.
