Summary of the contracting process

London Underground Limited, through its parent organisation, Transport for London, has successfully awarded a contract for the supply of 197 Anti-Roll Bar Kits under the S7 Overhaul Programme Lift. The contract, with a total gross value of £443,403.66, commenced on 4th November 2025 and is set to conclude on 20th April 2028. The geographic scope of this contract covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, primarily focused in London, with procurement falling under the utilities special regime. This direct award procurement was chosen due to United Springs Limited, based in Rochdale, being the exclusive owner of the necessary intellectual property and tooling rights for the parts required. The procurement stage is complete, with all documentation suitably in place from 2nd December 2025.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing transport equipment and auxiliary products. Companies specialising in high-precision engineering, particularly those with experience in producing components for public transportation systems, stand to benefit significantly. The direct award methodology, based on exclusive rights and intellectual property, indicates strong potential for niche manufacturers and suppliers with proprietary technologies. Although United Springs Limited is currently the supplier due to its unique position, other SMEs and innovative firms possessing similar advantages could anticipate capturing akin contracts through demonstrating capability in areas such as component design, proprietary tooling, and compliance with transport standards within the UK.
