## Summary

Transport for London (TfL) is planning a procurement process titled "Surface Tunnel Maintenance," aimed at exploring new approaches for maintaining surface and road tunnels. This procurement, classified under the services category with a primary CPV classification for repair and maintenance services, is in the planning stage as of 14th May 2026. It is located in London, UK, and involves public undertakings outlined under legislation 2023/54. The planned contract period is expected to start on 1st April 2029 and end on 31st March 2037. Potential suppliers can look forward to a future notice by 1st March 2027.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in infrastructure maintenance, particularly those with experience in managing highway and tunnel assets. Companies offering comprehensive maintenance services with a strong track record in similar large-scale public sector projects would be well-suited to compete. The long-term nature of the contract also provides a stable business growth opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolio within public sector frameworks.

## Notice

In 2021, a new suite of contracts was created to replace LoHAC for the management of all of TfL's highways and associated assets (summarised under Works for London). This project will explore alternative routes for the maintenance of the surface / road tunnels element (currently part of TaPS - Tunnels and Pumping Stations).
