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 two years with a 12 month extension option with effect from November 2022 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.
