UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London procured labour, plant and materials for depot works supporting the Piccadilly Line Upgrade Programme. The supply is intended to maintain continuity of resources for depot works and help deliver the wider upgrade, supporting operational resilience, asset performance and long-term network capacity. The requirement combines workforce provision, plant supply, railway-track construction materials and related construction services. Delivery covers locations across England, including London and areas in the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East and South West. The buyer is Transport for London, and the work is associated with its depot requirements for the Piccadilly line upgrade.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to C R L Contracts Limited, an SME. The award is dated 23 September 2026. The recorded award value is £977,500 excluding VAT (£1,173,000 including VAT), although the procurement description says the cost-reimbursable contract has no fixed award value. The initial contract period runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an extension option of up to one year, taking the maximum period to 31 March 2029. TfL used a selective competitive flexible procedure. Four bids were received, all four from SMEs. The procurement was divided into one lot. The published process data does not state the evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand for a supplier able to provide labour, plant and railway-related materials together for depot works supporting a major upgrade programme. A credible competitor would need the capacity to coordinate these inputs, respond to changing depot requirements and support construction-related delivery across multiple parts of England. The cost-reimbursable arrangement also makes effective cost control, transparent records and the ability to manage resources against work undertaken commercially relevant. The requirement is tied to transport infrastructure and depot delivery rather than general labour or materials supply: relevant experience would therefore include working in a rail or comparable infrastructure environment and keeping essential supplies and workforce available to support programme delivery.
