UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by SE Trains Limited, a public undertaking in London, under the title "465/0/1 TBOX - Static Converter", involves a direct award contract for the overhaul of static converters, falling under the category of services. The procurement relates to the utilities sector, with the contract being awarded directly to T P Matrix Limited, due to the existence of intellectual property rights or exclusive rights held by the supplier. The process has reached the award stage as of 6th May 2026, with the contract period beginning on 11th May 2026 and extending until 31st December 2028. The total contract value is £1,000,000, with possible extension until 30th June 2029.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the repair and maintenance of locomotives, particularly those possessing unique technologies or intellectual property that enable them to meet specific contractual requirements. The direct award approach highlights the opportunity for organisations with niche capabilities to secure contracts without the competitive bidding process. SMEs, such as T P Matrix Limited, can particularly thrive in such niches by leveraging their specific expertise and patented technologies to establish and expand their business relationships in specialised sectors such as transport and utilities.
