UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Transport for London, is currently in the planning stage for a project titled "Manufacture, supply and maintenance of ST CRIDs". This initiative primarily falls within the services industry category, focusing on repair and maintenance services. Based in London, UK, the procurement aims to address the ongoing needs for ST-CRID repairs and maintenance over an 18-month period with a planned budget of approximately £600,000. The contract period is set from 30th June 2026 to 29th June 2029, with a future notice date set for 21st May 2026. The strategy involves negotiating an SSR agreement to ensure smooth operations across the network, with a special regime applicable to utilities.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in handling large-scale public transport contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide reliable and efficient service solutions for the maintenance of technological equipment are well-positioned to benefit from this procurement. The continuous demand for ST CRIDs across the network presents a stable market for businesses capable of delivering consistent support and innovation, making it an appealing target for companies looking to expand their footprint in the public utilities sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Manufacture, supply and maintenance of ST CRIDs

Notice Description

There will be an ongoing requirement for STCRIDs, which will not diminish by the roll-out of the PCRID contract as anticipated. The STCRID was to be superseded by the PCRID but we are now aware that this is not the case. Therefore, a new strategy is required for the STCRID which needs time to formulate due to a number of key decisions (new design, existing design includes obsolence) and this SSR will permit the time. A new strategy has been determined as a means to achieve a permanent solution, however until such time as that strategy is enacted there is an ongoing need for ST-CRID repairs, renewals and recalibrations in order to keep the c.4,000 units in use across the network operational and safe. With an average periodic spend of cPS25,000 the sum of PS600,000 is sought via this SSR to fund outstanding, current and future costs (18 months). After discussion and review within Procurement & Commercial, a strategy has been formed: an SSR agreement is to be negotiated and agreed with Unip
