## Description
This notice confirms the award of TfL's rolling stock disposal framework which will include removal via rail and/or road, decommissioning/scrapping, recycling and disposal of a number of aging rolling stock assets/fleets across the London Underground network.
The immediate requirement under the framework is to support the Piccadilly Line Upgrade through the removal, decommissioning/scrapping, recycling and disposal of the 1973 Tube Stock fleet as the new 2024 Tube Stock trains are introduced. Removal and scrapping activities are anticipated to commence in spring 2027 and conclude during 2028.
The framework is divided into two lots based on the method of haulage and removal:
•	Lot 1: Road Haulage and Removal
•	Lot 2: Rail Haulage and Removal
TfL is appointing three suppliers across the two Lots, with two suppliers being appointed to Lot A - Removal by Road and three suppliers being appointed to Lot B - Removal by Rail. Suppliers will  be engaged through call-off contracts awarded either through mini-competitions or direct award, in accordance with the framework provisions. 
TfL anticipates delivering several projects through the rolling stock disposal framework including Piccadilly Line 73TS rolling stock, Bakerloo Line 72TS rolling stock and Heavy Haulage Vehicles. The estimated total value of projects awarded through the framework is approximately £16  million. The Bakerloo Line Upgrade and HHV disposal projects remain subject to future funding approvals
