Summary of the contracting process

The Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), located in Glasgow, UK, has recently awarded a contract for the title "Subway Automatic Train Operation System" as part of an open procurement process. This project, relating to services within the transport industry, aims to enhance the existing automated train control system of the Glasgow Subway. The contract was signed on 9th October 2018 and is set to run for four years, commencing in November 2018. The total contract value is £273,431.08, and it encompasses support for the proprietary software originally designed and installed by Mott MacDonald.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in transportation technology and systems maintenance. Given the proprietary nature of the software and the negotiated contract with Mott MacDonald, companies that possess expertise in automated train operations and a strong background in rail transport systems would be well-suited to consider partnerships or subcontracting opportunities. Additionally, firms that can offer emergency repairs and enhanced maintenance support may find potential avenues for growth within this contract's framework.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement value is less than The Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 threshold, therefore the OJEU rules do not apply. However, the value is above the Procurement Reform Act 2014 threshold, therefore these regulations apply. This requirement is exempt from competition due the proprietary nature of the software as this was designed and installed by Mott MacDonald Limited, and as SPT has decided to continue to use this software till the end of life for the fleet, the procurement route available is to negotiate without competition. This negotiation process comprised of extensive discussion with Mott MacDonald Limited and resulted in a fully costed proposal with an increased level of maintenance that took into account the age of the equipment and aligned with the introduction of new rolling stock. The supplier proposals were fully scrutinised by the SPT Engineering team. The final negotiated term of the contract is four years with effect from November 2018 for all ATO support.

Options: A contingency amount has also been included within the overall budget to cover any unforeseen elements e.g. emergency repairs.
