UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN) procured services to maintain high-mast lighting and associated lighting systems. The requirement covers maintenance of lighting equipment and electric lamps, including street-lighting maintenance services. Work is delivered across London and the South East of England. TSGN is a public undertaking responsible for buying the service. The scope is relevant to businesses that inspect, maintain, repair and support high-mast or other large-scale lighting installations, particularly those able to work across multiple operational locations. The requirement concerns an ongoing maintenance service rather than the supply of standalone lighting equipment, so firms should be positioned to provide planned and responsive maintenance for installed systems in the railway operator’s area.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open competitive flexible procedure under the utilities regime. It had one lot and received one bid. TSGN awarded the contract to Abacus Lighting Limited on 14 July 2026 for £330,863.59 gross. The contract period is 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2028, with one optional one-year extension available until 3 August 2029. The award is active and the tender is complete. The recorded evaluation outcome shows one final-stage bid, submitted by an SME. The award covered lighting high-mast maintenance services across London and the South East of England. This was a below-threshold procurement, with the successful supplier selected through the competitive procedure.

This procurement demonstrates demand from TSGN for specialist maintenance of high-mast lighting and related lighting systems across a geographically dispersed operating area. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in maintaining large or high-level lighting installations, including the equipment and electrical systems needed to keep them safe and operational. The requirement favoured a focused SME supplier, showing that the work can be suitable for a specialist lighting maintenance business rather than only a large general contractor. Suppliers should be able to organise service delivery across London and the South East, manage work consistently at multiple locations, and demonstrate relevant experience of planned and responsive maintenance for installed lighting infrastructure. Firms with an established railway, transport or other operationally sensitive maintenance capability would be well placed to evidence fit for this buyer.
