UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Transport for London, is currently in the planning stage for the "92TS Wheel Slide Protection (WSP) System" project, part of the services category within the railway industry. The initiative, based in London, UK, aims to address performance and obsolescence issues of the current WSP system on trains. Notable milestones in the timeline include expressions of interest due by 16 September 2025, followed by the distribution of an early market engagement questionnaire on 17 September 2025. Responses are required by 7 October 2025. This project falls under the special regime for utilities and is above the threshold for procurement.

The tender aims to present significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in railway passenger coaches, railway parts, or railway transport services. Firms with proven capabilities in railway systems and those that can offer innovative solutions to obsolescence issues will likely find this opportunity particularly promising. Engaging in the early market engagement process can help businesses better understand project requirements and align their offerings to meet Transport for London's expectations. This early involvement could position a company advantageously for subsequent tender stages.
