Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has concluded a procurement process under a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition for the provision of Building and Track Drainage Maintenance services. The contract, valued at £110 million, focuses on maintaining drainage systems across London Underground, the Elizabeth Line, and London Overground. It encompasses a wide range of services, such as planned, reactive, and corrective maintenance, surveys, inspections, and other specialist tasks. Situated within London's TfL network, this procurement activity culminated in the award stage with the contract being signed on 5th December 2025. Interested parties were initially required to submit their qualifications by 3rd February 2025, with the procurement event being accessible via TfL’s SAP Ariba system.

This award creates an array of business opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in maintenance services related to drainage systems. Companies experienced in handling infrastructure within metropolitan transport networks, and those offering innovative maintenance solutions, would find this contract particularly suitable. Given the diverse tasks involved—from maintaining gullies and grease traps to inspecting pumping systems and bailing pits—businesses with a broad technical capability in water pollution services and a proven track record in urban transport environments would be ideally positioned to benefit from this procurement engagement. The substantial contract value and potential for a lengthy contract period underscore opportunities for significant business growth.
