The project involves the modification of drawgear systems on the 1996 Tube Stock vehicles to improve efficiency and resilience, featuring a design life of 25 years. Procurement stages have shifted from planning through tendering, with an update indicating activities spanning from July 2024, and submission deadlines unfolding up to 12th December 2025. Though the tender status was active at its peak, issues with bid validity led to a cancellation as of March 2026. The project is classified under CPV codes for railway maintenance and services, specifically within the services category, initially set to cover multiple UK regions. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in railway engineering, prototyping, and sustainable transport solutions. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate due to the competitive flexible procedure and specific focus on social value, technical, deliverability, and commercial criteria. Valuable insights and potential collaborations are offered through extensive PSQ, ISIT, and ISFT tender phases, including supplier site visits. With gross values formerly estimated at £2.4 million, businesses with capabilities in systems design, testing prototypes, and production readiness are well-suited to compete for future modifications, should the tender reopen under revised terms. ## Notice The scope of the Specification includes the design, prototyping and testing of the Modified Drawgear at all intermediate positions on the 1996 Tube Stock (96TS) vehicles. The scope requirements for the design, prototyping and testing of a Modified Drawgear for the London Underground (LU) 1996 Tube Stock (96TS) are to address the known deficiencies of the existing system. This project is known as Jubilee Vehicle Underframe Modification (JVUM) Project Lot 2. The Designer is required to design, supply and test prototypes for the Modified Drawgear at the intermediate vehicle positions of the 96TS. The Modified Drawgear shall feature a Collapse Element to replace the failing Jaw Release Mechanism, As the Jaw Release Mechanism is complex and bespoke, collapse solutions of proven technology used in the railway industry are preferred. The Modified Drawgear shall have a design life of not less than 25 years. The Designer is required to deliver prototypes of the Modified Drawgear for testing. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The extension of the contract is for any unforeseen delays in delivering the contract (if any). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/028895-2026 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 12 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | 9 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Mar 2026 - 29 Mar 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,000,000 | | Lots value | £2,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 60 - Transport services (excl.
