    "description": "This notice is to inform the market of an upcoming procurement event for the rolling stock disposal framework, which will include services. London Underground (LUL) requires removal via rail and/or road, decommission and disposal of a number of aging rolling stock assets/fleets.\nLUL's pipeline of anticipated rolling stock disposal to be awarded through this framework includes: Piccadilly Line 73TS rolling stock (approximately £7m), Bakerloo Line 72TS rolling stock (approximately £3m); and Heavy Haulage Vehicles (HHV) (approximately £1m). It is estimated that the total value of projects on the framework will be approximately £11m. Bakerloo Line upgrade and HHV projects will be subject to relevant future funding approvals.\nLondon Underground has purchased new rolling stock for the Piccadilly Line in order to replace the existing 73TS Fleet and is also currently planning projects to upgrade the Bakerloo Line Upgrade (BLU) which would include replacing the 72TS rolling stock, and further projects looking at updating LUL's fleet of heavy haulage vehicles (HHV). Both the BLU and HHV projects are in the early stages and are subject to London Underground securing the required funding. If these projects proceed the disposals of the rolling stock will be required.\nThe core scope includes removal of rolling stock from LUL's sites, and transport to an off-site location (provided by the supplier). At the offsite location the rolling stock will be decommissioned by the supplier, this will involve the rolling stock cars being decoupled and hazardous waste contained, removed, and disposed of. Once all hazardous materials have been removed the remaining recyclable material from each car will be removed, weighed, and issued for recycling or re-use. All remaining materials, both hazardous and non-hazardous will then be scrapped as waste. The PLU fleet removal is due to commence for scrapping in early summer 2026 concluding in the late 2027.\nThe contract is a bespoke Framework Agreement with two lots based on the different methods of haulage/removal (Road and Rail), a maximum of three (3) suppliers are to be selected per each lot. To achieve this, LUL will be conducting a competitive tender for this framework which shall have an initial term of eight (8) years, with an option to extend for further four (4) years based upon acceptable operational and commercial performance as set out in the framework. The maximum framework length will therefore be twelve (12) years.\nThe framework will include a mini competition procedure (call-off contracts) which will be evaluated on price only for services. Each request for a proposal for the mini competitions will be issued on a batched basis. LUL's expectation is that no more than 5 trains will be included in each batch. Each batch will have a clearly specified collection date and location depending on the haulage/removal requirement. LUL will have control over the required mode of transport when specifying the collection location at request for proposal (call-off) stage. The framework also reserves the right for Direct Award.\nThe framework also includes a 'scrap value rebate' mechanism under which LUL will receive from the suppliers based on the realised value of the scrap materials - in order to align with Tax guidance from HMRC, the scrap value will be returned to LUL as a separate incoming transaction (rather than offset against the cost of services).\nProcurement Overview and Conditions for Participation\nThis notice is to inform the market of an upcoming procurement and to describe the initial selection process. The Rail Industry Qualification Scheme (RISQS) will be used as a Qualifying Utilities Dynamic Market. Any supplier that is interested in this procurement event is required to be registered and subsequently respond to the Expression of Interest on RISQS via the below link prior to 23rd October 2025:\nhttps://www.risqs.org/\nExpressions of interest shall be issued to suppliers registered on RISQS under the following product codes:\n•\tH.G.3.5 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Waste Disposal - Non-Hazardous & Non-Toxic > Service\n•\tH.G.3.8 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Waste Disposal - Hazardous/Toxic > Service\n•\tH.G.3.2 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Recycling > Service\n•\tH.G.3.3 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Construction Waste Removal (and scrap clearance) > Service\n•\tE.G.4 - Rail Vehicles > Wagons and Freight Vehicles > Rail Delivery/Collection Vehicles > Dispose\nFor any questions in relation to this notice please contact DTUPEngagement@tfl.gov.uk quoting, \"Rolling Stock Disposal Framework\" in the subject.",

    "description": "This notice is to inform the market of an upcoming procurement event for the rolling stock disposal framework, which will include services. London Underground (LUL) requires removal via rail and/or road, decommission and disposal of a number of aging rolling stock assets/fleets.\nLUL's pipeline of anticipated rolling stock disposal to be awarded through this framework includes: Piccadilly Line 73TS rolling stock (approximately £7m), Bakerloo Line 72TS rolling stock (approximately £3m); and Heavy Haulage Vehicles (HHV) (approximately £1m). It is estimated that the total value of projects on the framework will be approximately £11m. Bakerloo Line upgrade and HHV projects will be subject to relevant future funding approvals. \nLondon Underground has purchased new rolling stock for the Piccadilly Line in order to replace the existing 73TS Fleet and is also currently planning projects to upgrade the Bakerloo Line Upgrade (BLU) which would include replacing the 72TS rolling stock, and further projects looking at updating LUL's fleet of heavy haulage vehicles (HHV). Both the BLU and HHV projects are in the early stages and are subject to London Underground securing the required funding. If these projects proceed the disposals of the rolling stock will be required. \nThe core scope includes removal of rolling stock from LUL's sites, and transport to an off-site location (provided by the supplier). At the offsite location the rolling stock will be decommissioned by the supplier, this will involve the rolling stock cars being decoupled and hazardous waste contained, removed, and disposed of. Once all hazardous materials have been removed the remaining recyclable material from each car will be removed, weighed, and issued for recycling or re-use. All remaining materials, both hazardous and non-hazardous will then be scrapped as waste. The PLU fleet removal is due to commence for scrapping in early summer 2026 concluding in the late 2027. \nThe contract is a bespoke Framework Agreement with two lots based on the different methods of haulage/removal (Road and Rail), a maximum of three (3) suppliers are to be selected per each lot. To achieve this, LUL will be conducting a competitive tender for this framework which shall have an initial term of eight (8) years, with an option to extend for further four (4) years based upon acceptable operational and commercial performance as set out in the framework. The maximum framework length will therefore be twelve (12) years. \nThe framework will include a mini competition procedure (call-off contracts) which will be evaluated on price only for services. Each request for a proposal for the mini competitions will be issued on a batched basis. LUL's expectation is that no more than 5 trains will be included in each batch. Each batch will have a clearly specified collection date and location depending on the haulage/removal requirement. LUL will have control over the required mode of transport when specifying the collection location at request for proposal (call-off) stage. The framework also reserves the right for Direct Award.\nThe framework also includes a 'scrap value rebate' mechanism under which LUL will receive from the suppliers based on the realised value of the scrap materials - in order to align with Tax guidance from HMRC, the scrap value will be returned to LUL as a separate incoming transaction (rather than offset against the cost of services).\nProcurement Overview and Conditions for Participation\nThis notice is to inform the market of an upcoming procurement and to describe the initial selection process. The Rail Industry Qualification Scheme (RISQS) will be used as a Qualifying Utilities Dynamic Market. Any supplier that is interested in this procurement event is required to be registered and subsequently respond to the Expression of Interest on RISQS via the below link prior to 23rd October 2025:\nhttps://www.risqs.org/ \nExpressions of interest shall be issued to suppliers registered on RISQS under the following product codes:\n•\tH.G.3.5 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Waste Disposal - Non-Hazardous & Non-Toxic > Service\n•\tH.G.3.8 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Waste Disposal - Hazardous/Toxic > Service\n•\tH.G.3.2 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Recycling > Service\n•\tH.G.3.3 - General Business Services and Supplies > Sewage, Refuse, Cleaning and Environmental services > Refuse & Waste Services > Construction Waste Removal (and scrap clearance) > Service\n•\tE.G.4 - Rail Vehicles > Wagons and Freight Vehicles > Rail Delivery/Collection Vehicles > Dispose\nFor any questions in relation to this notice please contact DTUPEngagement@tfl.gov.uk quoting, \"Rolling Stock Disposal Framework\" in the subject.",
