Summary of the contracting process

SE Trains Limited, based in London, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for station improvement works, focusing on deep cleaning and maintenance of 32 stations across its network. Categorised under services, this contract covers accommodation, building, and window cleaning services. The procurement followed a limited method, negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to specific operational requirements. The contract, awarded on 1st September 2025, holds a total value of £387,530. The geographical scope includes the regions UKI and UKJ, ensuring uniformity in service standards across these areas.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in large-scale cleaning and maintenance services within the rail sector. Companies adept at managing operationally sensitive services in a transport context and those with existing infrastructure for quick mobilisation and standardisation would have a competitive edge. This process has been designed to maintain consistency and quality across services, with SE Trains Limited as the buying organisation already operating under similar conditions, potentially providing existing suppliers a unique advantage due to familiarity with operational requirements and safety protocols within the rail network.

Notice Title

Station Improvement Works

Notice Description

Package of deep clean and maintenance of 32 stations across the network.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Package of various deep clean and maintenance of 32 stations across the network.

Options: Additional stations may be added if agreed by the Parties.

Procurement Information

Reg. 50(1)(b)(iii) - where a change of supplier would oblige the utility to acquire works, supplies or services not interchangeable with those already provided, or would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The contract is for station deep cleaning and maintenance, which are operationally sensitive services in a rail context. The same supplier has already been delivered these services at other station locations since last year, meaning they have the staff, access permits, processes, and health/safety approvals in place. Continuing with the same supplier ensures standardisation of methods, compliance processes, and quality control across the network. Appointing a new supplier would cause significant disruption, extra mobilisation costs, and operational inefficiencies (e.g. duplication of training, new safety assessments, and inconsistent service standards).
