UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) required dedicated commercial management support for the high-voltage power workstream of its Piccadilly Line Upgrade programme. This is a specialist consultancy service, rather than the supply or installation of power equipment. The work concerns commercial management within a major London Underground upgrade programme; the recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as research and development and related consultancy services, although the stated requirement is specifically commercial management support. It was arranged as a single lot and covers the high-voltage power workstream, not the whole Piccadilly Line Upgrade programme.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited. TfL used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026 and runs from 6 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £95,760 excluding VAT (£114,914 including VAT). The award is active, as is the contract. The published procurement data gives no award date separate from the signing date. The procurement was a single lot. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are stated in the available process information.

For suppliers tracking TfL’s Piccadilly Line Upgrade, this award shows demand for dedicated commercial management on the high-voltage power workstream, procured as a specialist service through a direct, below-threshold route without competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate commercial management expertise applicable to a complex rail infrastructure programme, and the ability to support the high-voltage power workstream specifically. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that a substantial professional-services provider was chosen for this engagement; the award does not establish a formal minimum size, accreditation or capacity requirement. The buyer’s focus is commercial support within the upgrade programme, rather than general rail consultancy or delivery of electrical works.
