Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has been managing a procurement process titled "High Volume and Graduate Schemes," under the public authority - central government classification. Located in London, at 5 Endeavour Square, this procurement falls within the services category, specifically focusing on business services such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The process has seen a planning stage update as of 23rd May 2025, indicating a revised scope and a new pipeline notice to be published by 30th September 2025. The contract is planned to span from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2030, with a tender value of £9,000,000 (gross £10,800,000), but the previously active tender stage has been withdrawn as of 23rd May 2025, highlighting a temporary halt in progress.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in various professional and business services. Companies that excel in providing tailored solutions in law, marketing, consultancy, recruitment, or security services are particularly well-suited to benefit from this contract. With careful strategic preparation and alignment to TfL’s new scope, businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and strengthen their portfolios, despite the current pause in the tender stage. The anticipated release of a new pipeline notice indicates future opportunities will be available, providing time for potential bidders to refine their proposals and align their capabilities with Transport for London’s revised objectives and requirements.
