Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London has initiated an active tender for the "Provision of Hand Arm Vibration Wearable Devices," categorised under health and safety services. The procurement involves supplying approximately 850 wearable monitoring devices, along with necessary charging equipment, software platforms, and support services aimed at monitoring vibration exposure within railway operations. This selective procurement is conducted through a competitive flexible procedure, with deadlines for tender submission set for 13th July 2026, and an end to the award period on 26th August 2026. The project entails a contract period beginning on 1st September 2026 and concluding on 31st August 2029, with potential extensions available. The procurement, valued at £1,404,000 gross, is managed via Transport for London's e-sourcing portal and is open to suppliers pre-qualified under the Railway Industry Qualification Scheme (RISQS) within the London region.

This tender presents substantial growth potential for businesses involved in health and safety services, specifically those experienced in railway environments. It offers an opportunity to supply advanced wearable technology and support services to a major public sector entity. Businesses with expertise in HAV monitoring and registration with the RISQS are particularly well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement process emphasises quality and social value alongside price, allocating a significant portion of the evaluation to technical suitability and experience, thus encouraging SMEs and innovative enterprises to participate. The possible extension to other sectors within Transport for London, like London Trams and Docklands Light Railway, further enhances the potential for business expansion.
