Summary of the contracting process

The Greater London Authority procured an electronic vote counting system for the 2028 London Mayoral and London Assembly election. The service covers the supply of scanners, networking and associated technology, display equipment, and digital systems to capture information from all London local authorities. It also includes ballot papers, ballot boxes, distribution to nominated destinations across each London local authority, and the design and delivery of full user training. The main requirement is an IT and scanning service, including software, implementation and support. Transport for London managed the procurement and will undertake the procurement and commercial activity on behalf of the Greater London Authority. Delivery covers London and participating local authorities across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Transport for London used a selective competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. One valid bid was received, from CGI IT UK Limited, which was awarded the contract on 29 May 2026. The award value is £12,365,119 excluding VAT and £14,838,143 including VAT. The signed contract value is £12,078,080 excluding VAT and £14,493,696 including VAT. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2029, with an extension option to 30 June 2032 for the 2032 elections. Evaluation used price per quality point, assessing technical response, social value and financial response. The technical assessment covered the counting solution, ballot materials, count centre, delivery management, electoral law, transparency, security and standards.

This requirement is relevant to established election-technology and managed IT service providers able to deliver a complete, secure electronic counting operation rather than a standalone software product. A credible competitor would need experience integrating scanners, networks, displays and data-capture systems; handling ballot papers, boxes and seals; and supporting multiple local authorities and nominated delivery locations. The work also calls for robust project and delivery management, user training, demonstrations and operational support through a major election programme. Evidence of compliance with electoral law, security requirements and relevant standards would be important, alongside a tested quality-assurance approach and reliable implementation planning. Suppliers should also be able to present measurable social value and environmental commitments, and manage future public-voting events and election-related requirements for this buyer.
