Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has completed the procurement process for the provision of Contact Handling Services under its Concessionary Travel scheme, designated as tender ID TfL_96840. This contract involves both telephony and written correspondence services and has been awarded to Journeycall Limited, a large-scale supplier. The contract, valued at £14,279,000, will commence on 30th March 2026 and conclude by 29th March 2030. The procurement process followed a selective method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the award status being active since 17th February 2026. The industry category falls under CPV code 79512000, which is related to call centre services, and the delivery of services will be within the United Kingdom.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale companies capable of managing substantial contact handling operations. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not deemed suitable, businesses with existing infrastructure in telephony and customer service could benefit from this contract. Firms that already have experience in managing government-related schemes and can provide comprehensive contact services will be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. The awarded contract underscores the opportunity for organisations to engage in public sector projects that demand robust service delivery and extensive operational capacity.
