Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured health and safety services to monitor employees’ hand-arm vibration exposure across railway operations. The requirement is for a compliant, scalable monitoring solution, preferably using wearable watch-type devices supported by an integrated data-management platform. The service is intended to help TfL measure, manage and reduce vibration risks arising from powered tools and plant, supporting its statutory UK health and safety obligations. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the primary operational context being TfL’s railway activities. The arrangement may also support similar requirements across London Trams, Docklands Light Railway and London Overground, subject to agreement with the appointed supplier. The procurement is classified under CPV 71317200, health and safety services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open competitive flexible procedure for utilities. It comprised one lot and was restricted to suppliers registered on the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme against the relevant workplace noise and vibration monitoring code. Four bids were received, all from SMEs. Commercial evaluation carried 55% and technical evaluation 45%, with social value included within the technical assessment. The contract was awarded to REACTEC LIMITED on 26 August 2026 for £483,319 excluding VAT (£579,982 including VAT). The wider estimated lot value was £1,170,000 excluding VAT (£1,404,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2029, with a possible three-year extension to 15 September 2032. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026, and the award period ended on 26 August 2026.

This award confirms demand from Transport for London for specialist hand-arm vibration monitoring rather than general occupational health provision. A credible future competitor would need recent railway-sector experience, RISQS registration under the relevant workplace noise and vibration monitoring classification, and the capability to supply and support wearable monitoring devices with an integrated data platform. Suppliers should be able to collect, manage and interpret exposure data at operational scale, demonstrate compliance with UK health and safety requirements, and provide practical support for reducing risks from powered tools and plant. Technical quality and social value matter alongside price, while the requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs. Experience delivering consistent services across complex rail operations and related TfL modes would strengthen future competitiveness.
