## Summary

Transport for London commissioned cost-estimating support services for major infrastructure projects, including the Piccadilly Line Upgrade. The requirement covers project and design preparation and the estimation of costs, making it relevant to firms providing professional cost consultancy and estimating services for complex transport or other major capital programmes. The work is delivered in London, with the buyer based at 5 Endeavour Square. It is a services requirement and is identified under CPV 71242000. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer recognised the requirement could be delivered by an SME as well as by larger specialist consultancies. The named buyer is Transport for London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Currie & Brown UK Limited was awarded the contract on 21 August 2026 for £350,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original tender deadline was 21 August 2026. Evaluation resulted in one active award to the named supplier, covering the full cost-estimating support requirement. This outcome indicates that the route to market was restricted to suppliers eligible to participate through the relevant framework, rather than an open tender. The contract supports major-project estimating services for Transport for London during the stated delivery period.

For firms that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand from Transport for London for specialist cost-estimating capability supporting major transport projects. A credible future competitor would need experience in project and design preparation, cost estimation and the commercial assessment of complex infrastructure schemes. Relevant capacity would include the ability to support major programmes such as a line upgrade, produce dependable estimates and work within a public-sector framework call-off route. The requirement was judged suitable for SMEs, so a focused specialist consultancy could be well placed if it can demonstrate sufficient technical depth, delivery capacity and experience of comparable capital projects. Competitors should also understand TfL’s project environment and the standards expected for evidence-based estimating advice.
