Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by Transport for London involves the supply of point motors and point cylinders essential for railway switch automation in the London Underground network. This tender, under the industry category of hydraulic or pneumatic power engines and motors, was completed as of 25th June 2025. Transport for London, a central government public authority, managed the procurement method directly, falling below the competitive threshold. The award for this contract has been settled with ROSS PNEUMATROL LTD, located in Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, and the contract period is set from 4th July 2025 to 3rd July 2026.

This procurement offers substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in pneumatic and hydraulic equipment, particularly those supplying goods tailored for transport infrastructure and automation. Companies experienced in delivering critical components for train routing and operations could find significant opportunities in engaging with similar contracts issued by central government authorities like Transport for London. The procurement's preference for direct supplier relationships, without competition, suggests businesses with existing access to such networks might be especially poised for success.
