Lot Information

Lot 1

The type CR4000 trams on the Croydon Trams network are approaching the end of their design life and Transport for London (TfL) intends to replace them with a new fleet pursuant to this procurement. TfL intends to procure 24 new trams and associated technical support and spares supply to enable TfL to maintain the new fleet at its Therapia Lane Depot for the duration of its 30 year design life. The solution will support improved safety features on the tram network, comply with RVAR 2010 legislation, improve crashworthiness of vehicles, improve passenger and driver experience, maintain and improve reliability of the fleet, contribute to TfL's 'Vision Zero' and reduce the ongoing economic and carbon cost of tram services. The scope of the manufacture and supply agreement will include: (a) the design, assurance, manufacture, testing, commissioning and entry into service of 24 new base order trams meeting the requirements of the tram technical requirements specified by the authority; and (b) the option for the authority to order up to 12 option trams with no break in production, or between 8 to 16 option trams with a break in production; (c) the provision of associated spares and equipment for use on or in connection with the new fleet; (d) the provision of certain ancillary services in connection with the introduction of the new fleet; and (e) the disposal of certain retiring existing units from the Croydon trams fleet. The scope of the technical support and spares supply agreement will include: (f) the provision of specified technical support services in respect of the new fleet as required by the authority over the new fleet's 30 year design life; and (g) the provision of spare parts for the new fleet as required by the authority in accordance with its terms. The feasibility of onboard energy storage and Automatic Infrastructure Monitoring systems may be explored under this contract. The successful bidder will be remunerated on the achievement of specified payment milestones under the manufacture and supply agreement, together with fees for provision of services under the technical support and spares supply agreement. TfL are not seeking financing offers as part of this procurement but may separately procure financing for the new fleet, with the timing and structure of any such financing to be determined.

Options: The manufacture and supply agreement will permit the authority to order up to 12 option trams with no break in production, and/or between 8 to 16 option trams with a break in production. The technical support and spares supply agreement will apply in respect of the entire new fleet (including any option trams ordered pursuant to such options). Details of the provisional timetable for recourse to such options and their pricing are set out more particularly in the procurement documents.
