Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Underground Piccadilly Line is undergoing a series of rail replacement bus services between Hammersmith and Osterley, orchestrated by Transport for London (TfL). The recent contract award, under reference PIC/164-PL1, covers services from 17 May 2025 to 14 September 2025, with the procurement process following a competitive procedure with negotiation. Valued at £574,525.33, the contract was awarded to London General Transport Services Limited on 22 August 2025. This service falls under the 'Road transport services' category, with engagements completed by 15 April 2025. The buying organisation, TfL, can be contacted through Phil Thornton at their London office.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for large-scale transport providers, particularly those specialising in road passenger transport. While this contract has been awarded, the planned and tender stages indicate continued demand for similar services in the region. Businesses that can deliver large-scale, reliable bus services are well-positioned to compete in future tenders, given TfL's preference for selective procurement methods, involving substantial negotiation phases and high-value contracts.
