## Summary

London Underground Limited plans to procure fibre-optic cable installation and related ancillary works between Acton and Ruislip on the London Underground network. The work is classified as construction and includes optical-fibre cabling and electrical installation work. The planned installation is for the railway network; the stated delivery area is the United Kingdom. This procurement is relevant to contractors able to install fibre-optic cable and carry out associated works in a London Underground setting.

The process is at planning: London Underground Limited has stated its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. It expects to use a competitive flexible procedure. The buyer’s indicative date for a future notice is 19 July 2027, with an expression-of-interest date of 23 August 2027. The expected award period ends on 29 August 2028. The single planned lot is estimated at £10 million excluding tax (£12 million including tax). The expected contract period runs from 30 November 2028 to 31 December 2032, with an option for fibre-optic cable installation adjacent to Mansell Street sub-station. The stated selection basis is the most advantageous tender.

The work is likely to suit suppliers with practical capability in fibre-optic cable installation and associated electrical works, particularly those equipped to deliver on the London Underground network. The scope may also interest contractors able to undertake installation adjacent to a sub-station, as the planned option covers additional fibre-optic cable work there. The buyer’s stated aim is to select the most advantageous tender, so suppliers should prepare to demonstrate the merits of their proposed delivery approach when the procurement reaches the tender stage.
