## Summary

Transport for London (TfL) is initiating a procurement process for a Power Plant Repair and Maintenance Framework. This process, currently in the planning stage, involves a preliminary market engagement exercise to gather supplier feedback on the proposed services. These services include repair and maintenance across various power plant activities within the Asset Performance Directorate business unit. The procurement is underpinned by legislative guidelines and aims to develop a competitive and value-driven framework. Interested suppliers are invited to engage by completing a Market Sounding Questionnaire and expressing interest via email by 18th July 2025. The main industry category is services, focusing on repair and maintenance, and the project is concentrated in London, UK, with the framework anticipated to commence on 31st March 2026.

This procurement opportunity offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in power distribution and maintenance services. It creates an opportunity for suppliers, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, to enter or expand their presence in the public sector market by forming commercial partnerships with TfL. This framework is ideal for businesses with expertise in high-voltage power systems, offering both planned and reactive maintenance services. The potential for an open framework, with occasional re-competition during its lifespan, presents further opportunities for businesses to secure work over an extended period, encouraging sustainable business growth and the development of comprehensive service delivery capabilities.
