Why no open competition

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons

Published justification

This fleet of trains have been in operation on the TPE network since 2016.

Alstom are currently responsible for carrying out Level 1 to Level 4 maintenance activities at their depot locations across the TPE network.

Due to the shortage of depot space available on the market no other provider will be able to provide depot space for maintenance and train all staff prior to the 28th May 2023 on the TPE network.
