Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured on behalf of London Underground Limited a supply of ready-made electrical parts for the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations project on the 1972 Bakerloo line Tube stock. The goods are built to an approved design and include parts for electric motors, generators and transformers, low- and medium-voltage cable, low-voltage cable, and electrical supplies and accessories. They support accessibility improvements to the trains, helping London Underground meet current accessibility regulations and improve passenger access. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement under the utilities regime, with London Underground Limited as the buyer and Transport for London managing the procurement.

The procurement is complete and awarded. It used a selective competitive flexible procedure with five stages, including a formal tender, questionnaire, technical and project management submissions, and a commercial submission, followed by possible negotiation and resubmission. One lot was evaluated on project management quality at 55%, price at 30%, and social value and responsible procurement at 15%. Four bids were received, with three reaching the final stage. P.K. Engineering (West Bromwich) Limited was awarded the contract on 4 June 2026 for £458,340 excluding VAT, or £550,008 including VAT. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2029, with an extension option to 15 July 2030.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist, manufactured electrical components for legacy London Underground rolling stock and accessibility programmes. A credible competitor would need to produce ready-made parts to an approved design, including specified cable lengths, connection types and electrical requirements, with reliable quality and technical conformity. Strong project management is particularly important, as it carried the largest evaluation weighting. Suppliers should also be able to manage manufacturing schedules, storage and changes arising from operational installation programmes, while supporting replacement requirements for accidental damage and unforeseen delays. Social value and responsible procurement formed part of the assessment. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, and two SMEs reached the final evaluation stage.
