In 2015, London Underground contracted with Thales GTS to provide new signalling for the 4 subsurface lines: Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan.  This is the largest single signalling upgrade on the network covering some 40% of London Underground traffic.  Jackman Enterprises was commissioned by Thales to become part of the contract negotiation team in the 6 months leading to contract award, focussing on the scope of delivery as set out in the contract works information.  This was followed by the delivery of some specific consultancy packages in the initial stages of the project start up to assist in a number of early risk reduction activities.
