## Summary

Transport for London has procured a long-term managed storage service for its Logistics & Manufacturing function. The requirement covers secure, climate-controlled storage of critical components, stock inventory management for accurate tracking and retrieval, and managed haulage. The service includes guaranteed delivery to Acton within 24 hours, supporting engineering works, multi-year projects such as the Central Line Improvement Plan, and operational readiness during construction of a new warehouse under the West London Depot Development Programme. The work is delivered for TfL in London, with Acton the specified operational destination. This is a services procurement for storage and warehousing solutions, including associated inventory control and transport management. The requirement is intended for an operator able to integrate storage, stock control and responsive delivery into TfL’s engineering and logistics operations.

The procurement is complete and was direct awarded without prior publication of a call for competition under the CCS Framework Agreement RM6329, Lot 2, Warehousing and Storage Solutions. The award was made on 25 May 2026 to Pickfords Move Management Limited, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 25 May 2026 and is usage-based, with no committed expenditure stated in the procurement description. Its value is £13,400,000. The contract is due to commence on 15 June 2026 for an initial three-year term, with an optional one-year extension. The earliest expiry date is 14 June 2029 and the latest expiry date, if extended, is 14 June 2030. Evaluation was based on price. The procurement record identifies the lot as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award indicates demand from Transport for London for an integrated logistics provider rather than a standalone storage facility. A credible future competitor would need secure, climate-controlled warehousing for engineering components, reliable stock inventory systems, and the operational capacity to track, retrieve and dispatch items accurately. The requirement also favours suppliers able to manage haulage as part of the service and consistently meet a 24-hour delivery requirement to Acton. Relevant experience would include supporting complex, multi-year transport or infrastructure programmes where continuity of engineering work depends on rapid access to stored parts. Suppliers should be able to operate at the scale of a large public transport organisation, coordinate storage and transport services, and demonstrate dependable performance across changing usage levels, since the arrangement is usage-based rather than built around committed purchasing.
