This project focuses on replacing engines on the Woolwich Ferry vessels and falls under the industry categories of mechanical installations, repair and maintenance services of ships, and installation services of marine engines. The location for this contract is London, within the UKI region. The contract was awarded to B&L Consultants Ltd, with the activity period running from 12th January 2026 until 31st March 2026. The procurement method employed was an open competition, specifically below the procurement threshold. This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in marine engineering, mechanical installations, or ship repair and maintenance services. Businesses within these sectors could benefit by becoming suppliers in similar future opportunities, leveraging their experience and capacity to deliver specialised mechanical and marine services. The transparent procurement process used by Transport for London ensures an open competition, encouraging broad participation and fostering suitable partnerships for industry stakeholders aiming to expand their services within the public sector. ## Notice Transport for London has sought a supplier to replace engines on the two Woolwich Ferry vessels, which are equipped with two type QSK-19DM Tier II Cummins engines (4 engines in total). In line with current projected running hours, the engines on both vessels will replace new-for-old with matching Cummins QSK-19DM Tier II (IMO2) engines in line with existing Class approval (to extend to engine interfaces).

Suppliers were given one week to submit responses to general questions the project team had queried to better understand the requirement. TfL commercial followed up with any additional questions as and when they arose; borne from the project, risk and commercial progress meetings. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009909-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2025 | | Future notice date | 30 Jul 2025 | | Award date | 12 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | 12 Jan 2026 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £175,000 | | Lots value | £175,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £166,126 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | 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 | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | B&L CONSULTANTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 45350000 - Mechanical installations - 50241000 - Repair and maintenance services of ships - 51145000 - Installation services of marine engines ## Release History - 4 Feb 2026 at 11:57 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009909-2026 - 14 Oct 2025 at 14:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065260-2025 - 2 Jul 2025 at 09:21 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036656-2025 - 2 Jun 2025 at 10:57 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029105-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009909-2026 4th February 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065260-2025 14th October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036656-2025 2nd July 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/029105-2025 2nd June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://bandlconsultants.co.uk/ - https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfRegistration?realm=TfL - https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
