Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London has awarded a procurement contract for the management of locks and keys across London Underground sites. This procurement process, initiated as a tender, culminated in a direct award to YY Security Installations Limited. The contract is classified under the industry category of goods, specifically focussing on locks, keys, and hinges. The procurement method utilised was direct and considered below threshold, thus conducted without competition. Situated in London's UKI region, the contract is scheduled to commence on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 30th June 2027. While the procurement stage is in the award phase with the contract currently active, the final signature is anticipated by 13th December 2025.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, primarily for businesses specialising in locksmith services, particularly those experienced in sophisticated security solutions for large infrastructure projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in supplying, installing, and managing high-security locking systems will find this tender a fitting opportunity. Companies able to deliver reliable and efficient service to public utilities like Transport for London can leverage such projects to enhance their portfolio and reputation within the public sector. The collaboration with a central government authority not only boosts credibility but also offers potential for future engagements in similar contracts within the transportation industry.
