UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London commissioned specialist consultancy services to develop a management system specification for its Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) function. The specification will underpin a future artificial-intelligence-enabled solution intended to improve SHE performance, assurance and operational decision-making. This is development consultancy work, covering the definition and documentation of requirements rather than the delivery of the future AI solution itself. The buying organisation is Transport for London, a public undertaking. The work is for TfL’s SHE function and is associated with its London operations. The requirement was procured as a single service lot and is relevant to consultancies with experience in SHE management systems, specification development, assurance and the practical application of AI to operational decision-making.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Transport for London used a below-threshold limited competition. PA Consulting Services Ltd was awarded the single lot on 24 June 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 29 June 2026 to 18 September 2026. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT and £90,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The contracted service is classified as development consultancy services. The published outcome records one supplier and one award. The agreed performance metric is the quality, accuracy and completeness of the work. This was a below-threshold procurement.

This award demonstrates demand from Transport for London for specialist support at the intersection of Safety, Health & Environment management, consultancy and artificial-intelligence-enabled operational improvement. A credible future competitor would need to translate SHE processes and assurance requirements into a clear, complete and accurate management-system specification that can support a later digital or AI solution. Relevant capability includes understanding how SHE information is governed, analysed and used in operational decision-making, as well as producing requirements documentation that is practical for a major public transport organisation. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that substantial specialist consulting capacity and the ability to work with a complex organisational function are useful credentials for comparable work.
