Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Transport for London (TfL), focuses on the 'TfL Safety Critical Labour Supply' and falls under the 'Support services for railway transport' industry category. Located in London, United Kingdom, this tender has followed a selective competitive dialogue process, specifically designed for above-threshold procurements. The procurement phase concluded with the award on 17th September 2025, subsequent to the contract period beginning on 11th July 2025 and scheduled to end on 31st August 2027. The tender, valued at £44 million, required the provision of protection workers to ensure the safety of the track environment on the TfL network before, during, and after maintenance and renewal works.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, primarily for large companies capable of supplying skilled labour, particularly within the railway support services sector. Morson Human Resources Limited, a large-scale enterprise, was awarded the contract, demonstrating that businesses with sufficient scale to manage substantial and critical operational demands have a competitive edge. Furthermore, organisations aiming to collaborate or subcontract with large entities like Morson could also benefit indirectly. The nature of the service, enhancing the safety and efficiency of public transport infrastructure, aligns well with businesses focused on safety compliance, infrastructure support, and workforce management. This procurement demonstrates TfL's ongoing investment in maintaining a safe and efficient transport network, providing ample opportunities for established companies to contribute to public service enhancement.
