## Summary

London Underground Limited, in collaboration with Transport for London, has completed the procurement process for the Metropolitan line Doors Overhaul Parts. This procurement involves a direct award to Faiveley Transport Tamworth Ltd for the supply of essential door parts including electrical motors, wiring chains, cables, driving screws, and seals for the door system overhaul. Located in London, the procurement falls under the category of public undertaking for railway components, with the industry category aligned with parts of railway locomotives and traffic-control equipment. The contract period will run from 10 March 2026 to 9 March 2028, following a scheduled future signature date on 5 March 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large businesses with expertise in railway system components due to the specialised requirements for the overhaul. As the procurement method entails a direct award, businesses with proprietary designs and specific safety certifications that align with London's transport infrastructure could benefit from such opportunities. The proprietary nature and specific safety standards highlight the need for established suppliers like Faiveley Transport Tamworth Ltd, a subsidiary of Wabtec, that possess the necessary intellectual rights to manufacture these parts, ensuring adherence to safety and functionality requirements critical for the operation of London Underground's Metropolitan line.

## Notice

This procurement is for the supply of door parts such as electrical motor, wiring chains, cables, driving screws, and seals from original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Wabtec, for the overhaul of the Metropolitan line doors project. The parts being procured are partial replacement of the existing ones as confirmed following the condition assessments which were initially conducted by TfL in 2022 and a further assessment is planned for January 2026.

### Procurement Information

The reason for a direct award is as result of Faiveley Transport Tamworth Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Wabtec being the original manufacturer who owns the intellectual rights to these components. The parts are based on proprietary designs and require specific safety certifications, which means no other supplier can legally or practically produce them to the required standards. Therefore, this direct award is in line with the permissible provisions under Section 41, Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 which calls for reason to award directly to the OEM in the absence of intellectual property and exclusive rights, with no reasonable alternatives to those goods. Any part/goods purchased from alternate supplier other than the OEM could result in disproportionate functioning of the door systems, thereby risking the functionality and potentially causing safety hazards on a running train.
