What is being bought

This procurement is for the provision of repeat services to support the Logistics and Manufacturing Engineering Vehicles for the provision of Maintenance & Supporting Services to two Tubevac Machines (DISAB 1 & DISAB 2) and supporting the equipment. These assets provide London Underground with specialist ballast/track bed removal capability that significantly reduces the labour-intensive time taken for track renewals & maintenance in Engineering hours. The total amount is circa £768k to cover for the 1 year period. The justification for awarding the proposed contract is in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023, Section 41.6 Schedule 5, paragraph 7 is; Additional or repeat goods, services or works. (7) The public concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services and works in circumstances where - a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation of maintenance.

Procurement method rationaleAdditional or repeat goods, services of works - extension or partial replacement. The justification for awarding this proposed contract in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 Direct Award Section 41.6 Paragraph 7 to Specialist Engineering Services (SES) for the Engineering Vehicles - Maintenance & Supporting Services without competition is additional or repeat goods, services or works where:- The public contract concerns the supply of goods or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where - a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. At this time Tfl do not have the technical information to generate a specification for these services and therefore intend to directly award to the incumbent supplier to ensure continuity of supply to prevent an adverse impact on the maintenance of infrastructure due to non-availability of the maintenance vehicle. A change of supplier would require demobilisation and mobilisation of an alternative supplier; this would impact the maintenance activities of the operational railway, has the potential to cause service disruption and would inherit additional cost.
