### Lot Information

Lot 1

In 2005 LBSL awarded a 10-year contract to Siemens for the bus communication system known as iBus (the Contract). The Contract was novated to Trapeze in October 2009, when Trapeze purchased the relevant business. Since the original procurement, there have been additional modifications. Please see the description given at section II.2.4 above for further details of the Contract. The Variation will include licenses for the further System and Service Charge (support) of TfL's bespoke Legacy LRD. The Legacy LRD is included in the original scope of the Contract; however, the further support services provided via this Variation are not. The LRD is a business-critical component of iBus, used for Operational Reports including payments to Bus Operating Companies. The Legacy LRD requires further ongoing support to facilitate the necessary reporting and payments to Bus Operators and to assist with the transition to iBus2. The Variation will be on the Contract's existing terms. Please see the description given at section VII.2.1 below for further details of the modifications associated with the Variation.
