## Summary

Transport for London bought civil examination services for London Overground infrastructure. The described requirement covers visual examinations of assets on the Windrush and Weaver line stations and at Wembley C sidings. The procurement is classified as railway-track inspection services. The work concerns inspection of railway assets rather than construction or supply of equipment, and is delivered in London. The process refers to a single lot, although one award is titled for detailed examinations, creating a mismatch in how the requirement and awards are labelled. The selected suppliers are OCL Rail Limited and Bridgeway Consulting Limited, with each award associated with the same lot. These services support TfL’s inspection of London Overground assets.

The procurement is complete and two suppliers have been selected through a competitive flexible procedure. OCL Rail Limited was awarded the detailed-examinations contract on 20 October 2026, valued at £2,167,165 excluding VAT (£2,600,598 including VAT). Its contract runs from 3 November 2026 to 2 November 2027, with a possible extension of up to 12 months, subject to review towards the end of the first year. Bridgeway Consulting Limited was awarded a contract on 22 October 2026, valued at £484,514 excluding VAT (£581,417 including VAT). Its contract runs from 5 November 2026 to 5 November 2027, also with a possible 12-month extension subject to review. The original competition received nine bids, of which eight reached the final stage; six final-stage bids came from SMEs. Minor works may also be awarded under OCL Rail’s contract.

For suppliers targeting future London Overground civil examinations, this outcome shows demand for visual asset inspections across stations and railway sidings, alongside a separate award described as covering detailed examinations. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate railway inspection capability suited to operational rail infrastructure and the ability to cover the relevant London Overground locations. The awards went to both a specialist rail supplier and a consulting business, and the competition attracted substantial SME participation at its final stage, indicating that this type of work can be contested by smaller firms as well as larger providers. Suppliers should be able to deliver a defined inspection service over a sustained contract period and accommodate potential minor works where relevant. The contract terms also point to work that may continue beyond its initial year if the buyer’s review supports an extension.
