Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has initiated a contract process for the "Outstation Spares, Repairs and Firmware" with YUNEX LIMITED as the supplier. This procurement falls under the category of support services for road transport and will take place primarily in London, United Kingdom. The contract is directly awarded, based on intellectual property and exclusive rights, and encompasses maintaining, updating, and repairing outstation equipment pivotal to TfL's Road User Charging programme. The contract period spans from 20 September 2028 to 19 September 2038, with the award notice published on 17 February 2026. A key milestone is the scheduled signature date, set for 12 March 2026. The procurement process follows a direct award method under the conditions of the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in transport infrastructure services and equipment manufacturing. Given the nature of the contract as a direct award due to proprietary technological reasons, it is most suitable for original equipment manufacturers or entities with existing intellectual property rights over such equipment. Businesses with expertise in firmware/software updates, bespoke spare parts provision, and legacy hardware repair facilities would find this contract advantageous for expansion due to the long-term engagement and continued demand for specialised technical support.

Notice Description

The proposed contract will be for the provision of Spares, Repairs and Firmware to monitor, maintain and update Outstation equipment which supports the Road User Charging programme.

Further, the proposed contract is planned to provide Original Equipment Manufacturer level maintenance and support services for outstation assets.
