## Summary

Transport for London has completed a direct award contract to supply CLIP Electronic Communication Network (ECN) Harnesses for 12 train sets as part of their infrastructure improvements. The awarded contract is valued at £659,127 gross and commenced on 8 August 2025, with completion projected by 7 August 2027, potentially extending to 2028 if needed. This procurement falls under the utilities special regime and is crucial for the integration of passenger information, CCTV, and data transmission systems, focusing on the rail industry. The procurement process was driven by technical requirements to meet existing system integrations, with HARTING LIMITED based in Northampton being the awarded supplier.

The tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs involved in railway parts and data network cabling. Companies specialising in railway system components and those capable of delivering tailored data harness solutions stand to gain from such contracts. The direct award method minimises competition but also accentuates the potential niche market for businesses capable of meeting specific technical requirements and providing integrated solutions. This procurement enhances prospects for small and medium enterprises familiar with rail infrastructure projects and capable of executing complex supply logistics within set timelines.

## Notice

CLIP Electronic Communication Network(ECN) Harnesses (assembly of cables) for 12 train sets

### Procurement Information

The reason for the Direct Award: Harting ECN components are required by the contracts for Data Transmission System (DTS) and Passenger Information System (PIS). It is also part of the design integration for the other saloon systems i.e. CCTV. The provision of ECN components has been descoped within the DTS/PIS contracts so it can be supplied as integrated harnesses (a chain configuration as opposed to individual ECN cables). Any deviance from this agreed cable would invalidate the warranty associated with the DTS/PIS & CCTV Systems (contained within the drawings of the system) as we would have used a part that is not of the formally agreed design, thereby invalidating the Declarations of Design Performance. Without provision of the ECN harnesses, the new systems will be unable to be operated.
