Summary of the contracting process

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited (TSGN) is seeking a graffiti detection system for use in concealed toilet environments. The requirement is for detection technology, including sensors, to identify graffiti in those spaces. This is a goods procurement, with graffiti removal also appearing in the classified scope. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery place is identified. The system is intended for application in concealed train-toilet environments, so suppliers should consider whether their technology can operate in enclosed facilities and address the detection need in that setting.

TSGN invited offers through a four-stage competitive flexible procedure under the utilities regime. The procurement has reached tender stage. Suppliers were asked to register interest by 11 November 2026, and the enquiry deadline was 3 November 2026; both dates were set at midnight (00:00). The estimated gross value is £1,440,000. There is one lot. The planned contract runs from 15 August 2027 to 14 August 2030, with an optional extension of up to 36 months, potentially to 14 August 2033. The award decision was scheduled by 28 July 2027. Evaluation weights technical quality at 60%, social value at 5%, and price at 35%. Bids were to be in English; electronic submission was not permitted.

The opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide sensor-based technology for detecting graffiti in concealed toilet environments. A competitive offer will need to demonstrate strong technical capability, since technical quality accounts for most of the evaluation, alongside a credible social-value contribution and competitive pricing. The single-lot requirement is a substantial, multi-year supply opportunity with a possible extension, and may suit suppliers able to support the system over an extended contract term. Suppliers with experience designing, supplying or integrating detection systems for confined or challenging environments are likely to be best placed to address the stated application. The requirement also references graffiti removal, which may be relevant to suppliers offering detection alongside removal-related capability.
