## Summary

Transport for London (TfL) has completed a procurement process for the supply of motors and related components used in the signalling systems across the London Underground. The procurement, executed without competition under a direct procurement method, pertained to vital signalling equipment like point cylinders, chairlocks, and spacer tubes. The award was made on 24th June 2025, with a contract period starting from 4th July 2025 to 3rd July 2026. The industry focus is on hydraulic or pneumatic power engines and motors, and the procurement falls under the category of goods within the utilities special regime. This award was conducted below the threshold set for competitive tendering, and the legal framework is provided by UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers significant opportunities for suppliers specialising in signalling equipment and related technologies. Businesses capable of supplying motors, hydraulic systems, or pneumatic components would find themselves well-placed to engage with TfL in future opportunities, as demand for reliable and safety-critical transport infrastructure continues to grow. With the contract already awarded to ROTORK MIDLAND LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise from Bath, other SMEs in the sector may benefit from building relationships and enhancing their visibility to TfL, potentially leading to further collaboration opportunities. This procurement presents a pathway for growth in the government utilities and transport sectors.

## Notice

This requirement is for the supply of motors used in conventional trainstops on London Underground (LU). These motors are classified as vital signalling equipment due to their safety critical role in preventing trains from passing signals at danger. Chairlock driven points are also included, enabling trains to diverge from or remain on the main route. Spacer tubes, used in the assembly or installation of these systems, are also required as part of the overall supply.
