## Summary

Transport for London intends to buy approximately 10 kilometres of 11kV, three-core, 185 sq mm XLPE/SWA/MDPE high-voltage cable for London Underground’s ongoing asset maintenance and renewal programme. The requirement is for a reliable supply of cable for critical infrastructure works, manufactured in accordance with BS 6622 and London Underground Standard S1931. This is a goods procurement for delivery in the United Kingdom, serving London Underground Limited and its programme of asset maintenance and renewal. The product falls within the high-voltage cable category. Suppliers should be able to provide the specified cable consistently and support the operational needs of London Underground’s infrastructure works.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Transport for London has announced its intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use a selective competitive flexible procedure. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT, for one planned lot. The buyer expects the contract to run from 29 March 2027 to 29 March 2028. Its current timetable anticipates a future notice on 13 November 2026, enquiries closing on 27 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC, tender submissions closing on 11 December 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and an award decision by 26 February 2027. Price and technical quality are each weighted at 50%.

The procurement is likely to suit cable manufacturers, specialist electrical infrastructure suppliers and distributors able to provide medium-voltage cable to the specified design and standards. Relevant capability includes manufacturing or sourcing 11kV three-core 185 sq mm XLPE/SWA/MDPE cable compliant with BS 6622 and London Underground Standard S1931, together with dependable supply-chain capacity for approximately 10 kilometres. The buyer will assess technical quality alongside price, with technical considerations including lead times, storage and delivery arrangements. Suppliers with robust production planning, stockholding or storage facilities, and reliable logistics for infrastructure works will be well placed to prepare. The process is still at planning stage, so businesses should prepare for the later market exercise rather than bid now.
