Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured specialist highways engineering consultancy services for the A13, supporting the Design, Build, Finance and Operate handback. The requirement covers technical and programme support to ensure contractual, statutory and operational obligations are met before the road asset is transferred to the buyer. Work relates to the A13, with delivery in London. The buyer is Transport for London, and the service category is highways engineering. The requirement is focused on managing a complex infrastructure handback rather than routine road maintenance, construction or general consultancy. It would suit organisations experienced in transport infrastructure, DBFO arrangements, asset transfer preparation and the technical assurance of highways operations.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 1 July 2026, and the contract was awarded on the same date to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited. The awarded value is £750,000. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027, with an option to extend annually up to £3.75 million over five years. The tender is complete and the award is active. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is a single services requirement for Transport for London, covering the A13 handback support described above.

This award demonstrates established demand from Transport for London for specialist support on a major highways DBFO handback. A credible future competitor would need strong highways engineering expertise, programme management capability and practical experience of preparing an operational road asset for transfer. It would also need to coordinate evidence and actions across contractual, statutory and operational obligations, while working within a framework call-off route. The requirement is suited to organisations with the capacity to manage complex transport infrastructure assurance over an extended programme, rather than small firms offering narrow technical advice. AtkinsRéalis UK Limited’s selection indicates the buyer values a substantial, specialist infrastructure consultancy capable of integrating technical and programme functions.
