Lot Information

Lot 1

This is a competitive procurement for the award of a Framework Agreement to a single supplier for the manufacture and supply of toilet cabins for bus drivers (hereafter called Bus Driver Facilities or BDFs) on the London bus network. The cabins will be manufactured to a TfL owned design with design modifications provided by the supplier. Note that installation of the BDFs shall be carried out by TfL's highway maintenance contractors. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to the Restricted Procedure of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 201 ("UCR 2016"). At the end of this procurement process, TfL may choose to award a Framework Agreement with a Supplier. The Framework Agreement which Transport for London awards will be to the bidder who submitted the most economically advantageous tender. TfL intends to select up to four prospective suppliers to go forward to receive the Invitation To Tender (ITT) as further described in the Tender documents. The evaluation will award the Framework Agreement to the supplier with the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT), a combination of technical, financial, environmental and health and safety criteria. The award of the contract will be in Autumn 2023. On appointment, it is envisaged that a defined period for a design process will be required to allow the contractor to create a prototype BDF to replicate the current design, incorporate any improvements or updates in order to meet current regulatory standards. The supplier will also be expected to be engaged and contribute material for planning permissions for permanent units in certain locations, providing the necessary visualisations, plans and material descriptions of the unit as required. The designs will be submitted to TfL Engineering for review and assurance at a series of agreed dates. The periods for review and reply are defined by a TfL standard for this process which undergoes review by subject matter experts for each part of the design - structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical, public health, clean water supply and distribution and waste-water sewer connection as well as design of the streetscape elements, civils foundations and highway safety aspects. TfL have a series of standards to which reference will be made. These will also define the processes of assurance and review and set the required timescales.
