Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Passenger Seat Design" contract is currently at the planning stage. Led by Transport for London, with Lynette Gatsi as the contact point, this opportunity focuses on the design of passenger seats for the S7 and S8 Stock Underground Fleet. The procurement falls under the industry category of transport equipment and auxiliary products. Located in London, the project anticipates a contract period beginning on 31 October 2026 and concluding on 30 October 2030. Key upcoming dates include a supplier engagement event scheduled for 15 May 2025, and a future notice date of 7 September 2025. This project is significant within the public authority central government framework.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the design, manufacture, and reconditioning of transport seating.

SMEs are also encouraged to participate as the contract suitability includes provisions for them. Engaging early through the preliminary market engagement will allow businesses to align with Transport for London's requirements and potentially be part of an estimated £5,000,000 procurement, providing both financial growth and sector recognition within the public transportation equipment industry.
