I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
I confirm that the next contract for these works will be tendered for award in September 2025. The following page of our website explains TfL’s procurement processes:
We publish larger contract opportunities (contracts with an expected value over UK public or utilities procurement thresholds) on HM Government's Find a Tender service where you can search and apply for higher value contracts in the UK's public and utilities sectors.
