Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured design-and-build works to replace the Linear Heat Fire Detection and Suppression systems at escalators 1–11 in Green Park station. The requirement covers replacing the existing system with Aspirating Smoke Detection and upgrading suppression to conventional sprinkler systems, intended to reduce false alarms caused by faults and maintenance damage. The work falls within fire-alarm system installation and fire-detection systems. Delivery is at Green Park station in London, for Transport for London and London Underground Limited. The procurement is classified as works in the utilities sector and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is relevant to fire engineering contractors, fire detection and suppression specialists, and design-and-build teams experienced in working on underground railway infrastructure and escalator machine chambers and balustrades.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective competitive flexible procedure. Three suppliers submitted final-stage bids. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 22 May 2026 at 17:00, and the award decision period ended on 1 July 2026. One lot was evaluated equally on price and technical quality, weighted 50% each. The estimated value was £650,000 excluding VAT, or £780,000 including VAT. DELCORE FIRE ENGINEERING LTD was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026 for £630,400 excluding VAT, or £756,480 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 20 September 2026 to 20 July 2027. The procedure used electronic submissions through Ariba, with English as the submission language.

This award shows that Transport for London values integrated fire engineering delivery for complex London Underground environments, combining system design, installation and suppression upgrades rather than purchasing equipment alone. Competitors seeking similar work would need capability in aspirating smoke detection, conventional sprinkler systems and fire-alarm installation, with the technical competence to design and build within escalator machine chambers and around balustrades. Experience of reducing false alarms, protecting operational railway assets and managing access, installation and testing in a station environment would strengthen credibility. The equal weighting of price and technical quality indicates that a competitive supplier must demonstrate both cost control and a robust technical solution. The requirement also shows a route to substantial specialist work for suitably capable SMEs serving TfL’s rail infrastructure.
