What is being bought

• TfL is proposing to set up a long term (4+4 year) framework agreement with Siemens Mobility for work on signalling, train control and communication systems already installed across parts of the network-mainly the Central and Victoria lines, the Elizabeth line, and the London Overground Windrush line. • The framework would cover future capital projects, renewals, maintenance, goods, and services related to Siemens systems, including those originally supplied by Invensys Rail and Westinghouse Rail. • Around 15 call off contracts are expected under the framework, including a dedicated agreement for technical support, services, and spare parts. This arrangement does not include any rolling stock replacement with Siemens. • Where full replacement of signalling or train control systems is required, TfL plans to run an open market competition under a separate procurement process.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 31. The category anchor is Electrical signalling equipment for engines (31612300); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
