Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured executive consultancy support for a comprehensive assessment of its TfL executive team, together with flexible development and coaching support and advanced leadership profiles. This is a management consultancy and executive leadership assignment, classified under CPV 79411000 for general management consultancy services. The work is for Transport for London, based in London, and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on senior-team assessment, leadership development, coaching and profiling rather than general operational consultancy. It would suit firms with established capability in executive assessment and development, particularly those able to understand the leadership demands of a major transport organisation and provide tailored support to senior public-sector teams.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award to SPENCER STUART & ASSOCIATES LIMITED. The award was made on 7 July 2026 for £391,125 excluding VAT, or £469,350 including VAT. The award contract period was 21 July 2026 to 12 July 2027, with extensions of up to 12 months permitted. The signed contract is active, dated 10 August 2026, and runs from 10 August 2026 to 3 August 2027. There was one completed lot. TfL justified the direct award on the supplier’s specialist skills, including transport-specific skills, knowledge and experience; the stated rationale classification was single-supplier technical reasons. A standstill period ended on 20 July 2026, before the planned award-period start.

This award demonstrates demand from Transport for London for senior executive assessment, leadership development, coaching and advanced leadership profiling delivered at major public-transport scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven executive consultancy practice, with experienced assessors and coaches able to work confidentially with executive teams and senior leaders. Evidence of structured assessment methods, robust leadership profiles and the ability to translate findings into practical development support would be important. Transport-sector knowledge is a clear differentiator: the appointed supplier was selected specifically for transport-related skills, knowledge and experience. Suppliers should therefore be able to show comparable work with complex public-sector or transport organisations, alongside the capacity to support a whole executive team.
