Jubilee Line Train Management System, Passenger Information System and Saloon CCTV Turnkey System Replacement Project
Given the age of Jubilee line 96TS (1996 Train Stock), several systems are now experiencing obsolescence which impact the fleet's maintainability and day-to-day availability. The aspiration is for the fleet to operate, with an acceptable level of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS), until replacement in approximately 2045.
To address these obsolescence issues, London Underground (LU) have mobilised a project to develop and implement a sustainable solution.
A 'Make vs. Buy' analysis is required to establish the optimal means of project delivery. To date, project development has assumed and have been engaging the market, on a 'Make' scenario for the individual systems, whereby LU procures replacement systems from 3rd parties and deliver their integration across the fleet at an in-house production facility.
This Market Engagement Exercise however, seeks to assess market appetite and capability to deliver the 'Buy' scenario, where a supplier is contracted to deliver a 'Turnkey' programme of works to address all the systems of concern as provided in the scope below - which itemises the Core / Extended scope systems and their respective Preferred solution. The Preferred solutions were determined as part of an LU completed optioneering work.
CORE SCOPE
1: Train Management System (TMS), including Incident Recorder (IR) - Replacement
2: Passenger Information System (PIS) - Replacement
3: Saloon CCTV - Replacement
EXTENDED SCOPE
4: Propulsion Inverter Electronics (PIE) - Replacement
5: Saloon & Cab Fluorescent Lighting - Replacement
6: Traction Brake Controller - Obsolescence Treatment (Repair)
7: HVAC (cab and saloon) Controllers - Obsolescence Treatment (Repair)
8: De- Icer Controller - Obsolescence Treatment (Repair)
This 'Buy' option assumedly, will require the supplier to complete all aspects of the design, prototyping, manufacture, installation and testing & commissioning of the replacement systems across the fleet (in full) at their facility. Such option could be preferable to LU if the approach, costs and delivery timelines proposed by the suppliers present better value in comparison to the "Make" option and current internal estimates.
The outcome of the Early Market Engagement will output the preferred modality for project delivery, to be progressed to tender with the intention of implementing it on all of LU's 63 Jubilee Line fleet of trains.

Inspection, refurbishment, and re-panning of wheel pans used on London Underground Circle, District and Hammersmith and City and Metropolitan line fleets.
London Underground Limited is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise in accordance with sections 16 and 17 of the Procurement Act 2023 to understand market capability for the inspection, refurbishment and re‑panning of S Stock wheel pans used across the Central, Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan line fleets. This engagement is intended solely to inform internal planning and sourcing strategy and is not a tender, does not form part of any competitive procurement, and may not result in a future opportunity.
The authority is assessing the market's ability to refurbish and re‑pan safety‑critical wheel pan assemblies to OEM, TfL and London Underground specifications. The indicative scope may include inspection and condition assessment, removal and replacement of wheel pan material, dimensional checks and non‑destructive testing where required, application of corrosion protection suitable for underframe conditions and long‑term storage, and associated quality assurance, traceability, packaging and return logistics. Final specifications are subject to further development.
The authority is particularly interested in suppliers with experience refurbishing safety‑critical metal components (rail sector experience preferred), ISO 9001‑accredited quality management systems, robust inspection and traceability processes, and the capacity to support consistent batch throughput and turnaround. At this stage, the authority is seeking high‑level, non‑binding information only, including a brief summary of organisational capability and relevant experience, an outline of the proposed technical approach, indicative capacity and turnaround times, high‑level pricing ranges, and details of relevant certifications and accreditations.
Any information provided will be used solely to support market understanding and does not constitute pre‑qualification or supplier selection. Suppliers interested in participating are invited to submit the requested information by the stated response date. All responses will be handled in confidence and the authority will take appropriate steps to ensure that participation in this engagement does not provide any supplier with an unfair advantage in any potential future procurement.
