UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "72TS Bogie Damper Overhaul Bakerloo Line Tender" was initiated by Transport for London, a central government public authority, located at 5 Endeavour Square, London, United Kingdom. The tender was initially planned with the aim of overhauling bogie dampers for the Bakerloo line's 1972 Tube Stock. However, the procurement status has been changed to withdrawn as of 23 May 2025, with plans to publish a new pipeline notice. The process was at the planning stage until a notice of tender cancellation on Find a Tender indicated termination. Despite the withdrawal, prior details noted an open procedure for services under the public utilities industry category, with a future notice date set for 8 September 2025. The work was intended to commence in February 2026, suggesting business readiness for forthcoming opportunities.

The cancellation of the current tender does not negate potential future opportunities for businesses specialising in similar services. This scenario presents growth prospects for companies focusing on public utilities and repair services, especially those qualified as SMEs and VCSEs, given their suitability for planned contract lots. As Transport for London is seeking to overhaul key components of the Bakerloo line's rolling stock, businesses involved in rail maintenance and utility services can anticipate future procurements when the new pipeline notice is issued. Engaging with Transport for London will enable businesses to potentially secure long-term contracts from 2026 onwards, providing a strategic avenue for expanding within the public transportation sector.
