UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured a vehicle dataset covering vehicle weights, dimensions and safety features. This is a data and market research service intended to support TfL’s transport-related work, with delivery across England, including London. The requirement was handled as one service lot. The selected supplier, JATO Dynamics Limited, is a large UK-based company specialising in automotive information. Businesses relevant to this requirement would typically provide structured vehicle data, automotive specifications or market research services, with the ability to cover vehicle weights, dimensions and safety characteristics across a broad range of vehicles. The work is a data supply requirement rather than vehicle manufacture, maintenance, construction or transport operations. It may therefore suit specialist automotive information providers, vehicle-data publishers and research businesses with established datasets and sector expertise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to JATO Dynamics Limited without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed and awarded on 28 May 2026, with an active contract period from 28 May 2026 to 28 August 2026. The contract value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the vehicle dataset on weights, dimensions and safety features. The published classification is market research services. As this was a direct award, suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender process; the procurement route was direct, below threshold and without competition. The recorded outcome is one active award to one supplier, with the overall tender status complete.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Transport for London for commercially produced automotive data that combines vehicle weights, dimensions and safety features. A credible future competitor would need reliable, accurate and maintainable vehicle datasets, clear coverage of the relevant vehicle population, and the ability to supply information in a form that a public transport organisation can use operationally or analytically. Automotive data publishers, vehicle specification specialists and market research providers with established industry sources would be the closest fit. The existing award also shows that the buyer accepted a focused specialist supplier rather than a general transport contractor. Businesses monitoring this requirement should be able to evidence data quality, sector knowledge, consistent updates and dependable service delivery at a substantial single-requirement scale.
