In January 2021, the operation was taken in-house by TfL, having been run through outsourced marine operators until the end of 2020. Every 5 years, vessels have to undergo dry docking which is necessary to maintain vessel classification and to ensure a safe, operable and reliable service. The drydocking includes inspections and maintenance of the ferries and this is the first occurrence for TfL's two vessels, and the first such contract undertaken by TfL. Both vessels need this activity to occur before October 2023 otherwise will not be permissible to operate on the Thames. This procurement will procure the following elements of the Woolwich Ferry Resilience and Renewals Programme. * Drydocking, berthing and associated utilities * Class Renewal * Running Repairs * Detailed design and price for a number of alterations / upgrades Completion of alterations / upgrades dependent upon further approval A PCR 2015 compliant procurement process will be conducted to appoint a single supplier to carry out the services using BIMCO Repaircon terms and conditions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The dry-docking activity of the vessels on a regular basis is a requirement for efficient and safe inspection and maintenance of the ferries and has three main objectives which are as follows: 1. To clean, scrub, prepare by de-scaling all rusted areas of the hull, and finally paint the ship's hull so that speed and fuel consumption are restored to the original 2. To examine all underwater critical components as well as the entire under water hull for defects and take suitable corrective measures to put this right. 3.
