## Description
Transport for London (TfL) operates he Woolwich Ferry (WF) service which was transferred to TfL in 2000. In January 2021, the operation was taken in-house by TfL, having been run through outsourced marine operators until the end of 2020.
The Woolwich Ferry has two vessels that operate a vehicle and passenger service between two terminals on either side of the river Thames. The vessels were built by Remontowa and were brought into service in 2018. Each vessel is 60m in length and 19m width.
Every 5 years, vessels have to undergo dry docking which is necessary to maintain vessel classification and to ensure a safe, operable and reliable service. The drydocking contract opportunity includes inspections and maintenance of the ferries and this is the first occurrence for TfL's two vessels, and the first such contract undertaken by TfL. Both vessels need this activity to occur before October 2023.
This contract includes the following elements of the Woolwich Ferry Resilience and Renewals Programme.
• Drydocking, berthing and associated utilities
• Class Renewal
• Running Repairs including optional scope items.
• Detailed design and provision of works/service for a number of alterations / upgrades
• Completion of alterations / upgrades dependent upon further inspections and approvals
• Supply of spares and other goods in order to maintaining the ferries' vessel classification and to ensure a safe, operable and reliable service.
• Ancillary works, services, associated labour, management, and planning of the above activities.
Due to operational constraints, the dry docks must be located within 400 nautical miles from the Woolwich Ferry.
A PCR 2015 compliant Open procurement process has been conducted to appoint a single supplier to carry out the services using BIMCO Repaircon terms and conditions.
