Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has completed a direct award contract with Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. for the repair of Heat & Vent Air Conditioning (HVAC) Units and associated consumables for the S Stock of the London Underground Rolling Stock. This contract, valued at approximately £1,944,410, will span from 13th January 2026 to 12th January 2031. The procurement process was strategically essential due to the proprietary nature of the S Stock HVAC System, whereby Mitsubishi is the existing supplier and can ensure seamless compatibility and maintenance. The project falls under the industry category of services, specifically the repair and maintenance of rolling stock, with TfL acting as the contracting authority from their base in London.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing specialised repair and maintenance services, particularly those familiar with HVAC systems for rolling stock. Companies with expertise in proprietary system support and those able to offer bespoke continuity solutions are particularly well-suited to this contract. Although this process was completed through a direct award, highlighting Mitsubishi's unique capability in handling the existing technical dependencies, similar projects could provide opportunities for competitive companies in the future, particularly those innovating in proprietary transport technology solutions. Businesses positioned to adapt and specialise in continuity and compatibility-based services could leverage their capabilities to engage in similar public procurement opportunities.
