"text": "The Signals Labour Framework will mainly address shortages in the TfL network. As a result, the labour resources will not be working full-time. The services required will be on an as needed basis by TfL. The working hours will vary between day, night, bank holidays, Christmas and weekend shifts (base on engineering working hours of LU or network rails). The resources must have the necessary skills and expertise within the disciplines listed at the time the contract is called off. Additionally, they must possess IRSE licenses, relevant work experience, medical certification, and any other requirements specific to their role. Please note that this PIN is not an invitation to tender and does not constitute a call for competition to procure any services, supplies, or works. Its purpose is to raise market awareness and allow interested parties with appropriate experience to express their interest in this framework. Participation in the PIN is not a prerequisite to, and will not prejudice, participation in any future competitive process. The information in this PIN or any communication between TfL and a supplier should not be considered a contract, agreement, or representation that a contract will be offered. If TfL decides to proceed with a procurement exercise, they will publish a separate contract notice. Any future procurement will be conducted in accordance with the procurement regulations at the time of event."
