Summary of the contracting process

London Underground Limited bought supplementary drive detectors, clamplocks and associated spare parts for its railway operations. The goods fall within railway electrical signalling equipment. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, with delivery specified in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded to HYDRAULIC TECHNOLOGIES ENGLAND LIMITED. The award is recorded as pending, and a contract signature was scheduled for 25 October 2026. The contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, subject to performance, value for money and continuing business needs. The award value is £315,000 excluding VAT (£378,000 including VAT). London Underground used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold process. The requirement was divided into one lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The award record does not state evaluation criteria.

The award shows demand from London Underground for supplementary drive detectors, clamplocks and associated spares. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide these railway signalling products and support supply of the associated spare parts. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a business of this scale was capable of securing the award. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate an open competitive evaluation or reveal technical standards, accreditations, capacity thresholds or experience requirements. Its value to other suppliers is as evidence of this buyer’s specific purchasing need and the type of product range supplied.
