Planning and rationale

No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleDue to TfWRL "stepping in" in place of KA as operator of last resort and the consequent transfer of maintenance staff to the public sector, it has become necessary to re-negotiate the maintenance arrangements agreed by KA for the DeMUs with the Owners, as set out in more detail in the "Additional Information" section. The Owners have certain exclusive rights (in particular intellectual property rights in the design of the DeMUs) and contractual rights under the existing maintenance arrangements. As a condition of agreeing to the revised maintenance arrangements, the Owners require protection against the additional risks that the revised arrangements present, as set out in more detail in the "Additional information" section. Accordingly, TfWRL, TfW and/or WM are entitled to enter into the revised arrangements under Reg. 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR / Reg. 50(2)(b)(iii) UCR (protection of exclusive rights). Further or in the alternative, it would not be practically possible from an IP ownership perspective nor a technical perspective for anyone other than Stadler to carry out the hybridisation work, or to carry out the revised maintenance service and role. Accordingly, WM, TfW and/or TfWRL are also entitled to rely on reg. 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR / reg. 50(2)(b)(ii) UCR (competition is absent for technical reasons). The rationale is set out in more detail in the "Additional Information" section.
