UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London has completed the procurement process for the "Elizabeth Line signalling performance improvement Work Package 1," focusing on enhancing the railway signalling systems. This project falls under the public authority's central government category, with the procurement process classified as a direct award, specifically through an IRP with Siemens due to intellectual property rights. The procurement's location is London, UK, targeting the utilities sector with primary activities slated between 5 January 2026 and 4 January 2027. The award value is set at £4.2 million gross, involving significant railway signalling works. The contract stage is complete with a future contract signature scheduled by 4 December 2025.

This contract presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specializing in railway signalling equipment and infrastructure, as it demands expertise in improving the operational aspects of railway systems, particularly in high-demand urban settings. While Siemens Mobility Limited has been identified as the supplier, business growth potential exists for subcontractors or service providers in related fields such as system reliability enhancement and timetabling integration. The project requires entities with capabilities in cutting-edge signalling technology and those experienced in handling complex railway projects, especially within major metropolitan areas.
