Summary of the contracting process

London Underground Limited is procuring the provision, configuration, implementation and integration of Hitachi Rail’s Alarm Data Analysis Tool (ADAT). The tool is to be integrated into the existing London Trams environment, covering its Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Tram Management System (TMS). This is a specialist software-related services requirement, rather than a purchase of general-purpose software alone: delivery involves fitting the tool into existing tram control and management systems. The work is for London Underground Limited, part of Transport for London’s tram operations, and is associated with London, United Kingdom. The requirement centres on the Hitachi ADAT and its integration with the existing technical environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HITACHI RAIL LIMITED. The award is recorded as pending. London Underground Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the utilities regime. The award date was not recorded. The awarded value is £108,000 excluding VAT (£130,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 15 October 2027. The procurement has one lot, covering the ADAT service and its integration into the existing London Trams PLC and TMS environment. No evaluation criteria are stated; the direct, non-competitive route meant suppliers were not evaluated through a competing tender. A future contract signature was scheduled for 5 October 2026.

This award shows demand for specialist software integration within London’s tram operating environment. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need the capability to provide, configure, implement and integrate alarm-data analysis software with existing programmable logic controllers and tram management systems. Experience working with operational transport control systems, understanding their interfaces and delivering integration without disrupting established operations would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is Hitachi Rail, indicating that the buyer chose a rail technology provider for this requirement. The procurement was made directly without competition, so the award does not demonstrate comparative scoring or published technical thresholds; competitors should focus on proving relevant product expertise and the ability to deliver within a live tram-system environment when similar demand returns to this buyer.
