This initiative falls under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services," specifically focusing on the refurbishment of passenger grab poles installed in 1992 Tube Stock trains on the Central and Waterloo & City lines. The tender period concludes on 10 March 2021, while the contract period is set to commence from 30 April 2021. The procurement method employed is selective, featuring a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with a focus on metal refurbishment and compliance with rail vehicle accessibility regulations. Companies that have experience in handling corrosion damage, coating applications, and adherence to safety standards within the railway sector will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The nature of the works involved allows for businesses to potentially expand their engagement with TfL, contributing positively to their growth in the urban transport services market. ## Notice This requirement is for the refurbishment of the passenger grab poles currently installed within the saloon of 1992 Tube Stock (92TS) operating on the Central and Waterloo & City lines of London Underground (LU). The Waterloo & City Line will be an option at LU's discretion. Grab pole refurbishment is required to address the poor state of finish on the existing grab poles. This includes areas where the current coating is worn, discoloured or missing. A consistent coating finish and specific coating colour are required to comply with the Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations (RVAR). Some grab poles are expected to have damage to the grub screw fixing arrangement and / or are expected to have suffered corrosion damage (the bottom end of the central floor mounted grab poles in particular). This will require repairing as part of the refurbishment. Due to tolerances and the likelihood of small levels of distortion, the grab poles must be re-fitted in the same location that they were removed from. A method of assigning a unique identifier to each grab pole must therefore be developed. The grab pole refurbishment work is part of a large programme of works referred to as CLIP. The CLIP programme of works for the Central Line trains takes place on an 8-car train at the Acton Works site, whilst on the Waterloo & City Line trains, the work takes place on a 4-car train at Waterloo Depot. The refurbishment scope is expected to include, but is not limited to; * Collection from site * Removal of the existing coating * Inspection for damage against agreed criteria * The repair of any damage in accordance with agreed processes * The application of a new coating in accordance with agreed processes * Return to site More details are included with the attached documentation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This requirement is for the refurbishment of the passenger grab poles currently installed within the saloon of 1992 Tube Stock (92TS) operating on the Central and Waterloo & City lines of London Underground (LU).
