## Summary

The procurement process involves Transport for London as the buying organisation. The contract, titled PRO1681, is for the Design, Development, Supply, and Installation of Passenger Stop Signs and related Services in the real-time passenger information system industry category. The process is currently at the award stage, with an active contract signed on 1st September 2009 for a duration of 540 days. The contract has been awarded to Trueform Engineering Limited, and the contract value is £7,640,062.68. Key modifications were made to extend the contract by 18 months to allow for the continuation of services and the completion of the Countdown 3 procurement process.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in computer screens, consoles, message signs, graphic display panels, and related industries to compete. The contract extension provides stability for Trueform Engineering Limited as the supplier and offers a chance for other SMEs in the industry to potentially participate in future phases of the procurement process. The modifications in the contract aim to ensure service continuity and minimise disruptions while preparing for the transition to new suppliers for the Countdown 2 and Countdown 3 projects, showcasing opportunities for businesses to engage in long-term service provision within the public transportation sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In 2009 LBSL (a subsidiary of TfL) awarded a 12 year contract to Trueform for the supply, install and maintenance of Countdown 2 (CD2) signs (the Contract). Trueform are responsible for maintaining circa 50% of the Countdown signs on TfL's estate, with the other signs being maintained by Vix Technology Limited under a separate contract. In 2021, the parties agreed to extend the Contract for 18 months, such that it would terminate in March 2023. Please see the description given at section II.2.4 above for further details of the Contract. The modifications will extend the Contract on its existing terms for a maximum period of 18 months and are required so that Trueform can continue to provide the Countdown 2 services, permit the Countdown 3 procurement process to be carried out and will allow mobilisation and transition to take place before the new suppliers take up the support and maintenance of the Countdown 3 signs. Please see the description given at section VII.2.1 for further details of the modifications.
