Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London commissioned an independent Board advisory provider to carry out its 2026 Board Effectiveness Review. The service assesses the effectiveness of the TfL Board, its committees and panels, including governance structures, Board composition, leadership, culture, decision-making, information flows and relationships between Board members and executive management. The work includes reviewing documents, benchmarking against comparable organisations and recognised good practice, running a confidential online survey, interviewing stakeholders, observing Board and committee meetings, analysing findings and reporting recommendations. The provider must present the final outcomes to the TfL Board. This is a management consultancy service delivered for Transport for London in London and across the organisation’s Board and committee activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Campbell Tickell Limited, an SME. The award is active and the contract was signed on 26 August 2026. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 30 August 2027. Its value is £49,850 excluding VAT, or £59,820 including VAT. The tender was evaluated as a services requirement under a limited procurement method. The appointed supplier is responsible for the full Board effectiveness review, including assessment, research, engagement, analysis, reporting and presentation of recommendations. The contract is below the applicable threshold and the procurement itself has a complete status.

This opportunity indicates demand from Transport for London for specialist governance and board effectiveness consultancy. Credible future suppliers would need experience independently reviewing boards, committees and panels, with the ability to assess governance structures, composition, leadership, culture, decision-making and executive relationships. They would also need robust research and engagement capability covering document analysis, benchmarking, confidential surveys, stakeholder interviews and observation of senior meetings. Strong written and analytical skills would be needed to turn evidence into practical recommendations and clear reporting for a board-level audience, alongside the confidence to present findings to senior public-sector decision-makers. Experience working with complex public organisations or comparable large institutions would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns to the market.
