Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London, a public undertaking entity located at 5 Endeavour Square, London, has completed a procurement process for the supply of labour for track welding and grinding services across the London Underground and potentially other TfL modes. The procurement method was a competitive flexible procedure under special regime utilities. This process culminated on 10 June 2026 with an active contract awarded to GPX Engineering Ltd, valued at approximately £15.3 million gross. The service areas include regions across the UK, with a focus on various welding and grinding services.
