Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured bogie and door damper-related supplies to support its Fleet Maintenance programme for London Underground rolling stock. The requirement covers the Central line, S-Stock fleets serving the Metropolitan, District, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, and the Piccadilly and Jubilee lines. It concerns dampers and associated consumables, with supplies provided according to operational requirements. The procurement is for goods supporting rolling-stock maintenance, with related repair and maintenance activity. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for use across Transport for London’s London Underground fleet. The buyer is Transport for London, a public undertaking responsible for the relevant railway operations and maintenance programme.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Transport for London used a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, paragraph 7(a) and (b), for additional, repeat, extension or partial-replacement supplies from the existing supplier. The award went to ITT Holdings Czech Republic s.r.o. (KONI) on 13 April 2026, with a value of £545,529 excluding VAT and £654,635 including VAT. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 December 2030, with an extension option of up to two years, allowing a maximum end date of 31 December 2032. The award covers one completed lot.

This outcome shows that Transport for London buys specialist damper supplies as part of an ongoing London Underground fleet-maintenance requirement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in railway rolling-stock dampers, dependable supply of replacement and associated consumable parts, and the technical ability to maintain compatibility with existing fleets. The buyer treated the equipment as original-equipment-manufacturer-controlled assets: technical schematics, manufacturing and assembly drawings, and spare-parts information were strictly controlled and not shared with third parties. Suppliers would therefore need strong evidence of OEM status, authorised access to controlled technical information, or an equivalent technical case that avoids incompatibility and disproportionate maintenance difficulties.
