Notice Title
Direct award of a short term interim Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement for Class 701 rolling stock
Notice Description
Direct award of a short-term interim contract for a maximum of 6 months (Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement) for the provision of training, technical support and supply of spares in relation to the contracting authority's 60 x 10 car units and 30 x 5 car units of Class 701 rolling stock (the "6 month TSSSA"). This interim award is made to enable finalisation of the longer term direct award contract previously published under ref-ocds-h6vhtk-05126b. The intention being to award the longer term contract as soon as possible within the term of the 6 months TSSSA or, if that is not possible, on expiry of the 6 month TSSSA for a contract term no longer than 5 years from the award of the interim agreement, therefore the subsequent final contract term will be for a period equalling 5 years less the term of this interim contract, preserving an overall 5 year term. The contract value represents a maximum that could be earned during the 6 month TSSSA.
Procurement Information
Alstom Engineering and Services Limited was the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the Class 701 rolling stock. No supplier other than Alstom Engineering and Services Limited would be able to take on the performance risk and associated Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement obligations for the fleet of Class 701 trains during the train introduction and warranty period. There is therefore an absence of competition for technical reasons and there are therefore no reasonable alternatives to the supply provided by Alstom Engineering and Services Limited
