The nature of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is that both supply, works and services will be 'called-off' by the Utility and Contracting Utilities in accordance with their specific requirements following contract award and in accordance with a 'call-off' procedure that will be subject to negotiation during the procurement process. The value of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement will therefore depend upon the level of subscription to the framework, however the estimated value is based upon supply and commissioning of 500 Gateline Infrastructure components and their operation and maintenance over the initial contract term and two extension periods. Northern Trains (NTL) has chosen to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016. Given the subject matter of the framework agreement and the exceptional circumstances that apply in respect of award of a contract to single economic operator and proprietary nature of maintenance and operation obligations, the term of the agreement will exceed 8 years as set out in Clause 51(3) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract term for the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is consequently a five-year initial term with two options for further 5-year extensions. Options: Options for extension- 2 x 60 months The Services to *update and upgrade existing Gateline infrastructure; and *to decommission Gateline Infrastructure; will be set out as Options within the ITN documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027967-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure with prior call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 24 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000,000 | | Lots value | £50,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTHERN TRAINS LIMITED | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 6JT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Micklegate | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 51 - Installation services (except software) - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30144400 - Automatic fare collection - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies - 30233300 - Smart card readers - 32410000 - Local area network - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 48810000 - Information systems - 48900000 - Miscellaneous software package and computer systems - 50220000 - Repair, maintenance and associated services related to railways and other equipment - 51100000 - Installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 21 Sep 2023 at 18:06 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027967-2023 - 13 Sep 2023 at 18:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/027155-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.northernrailway.co.uk - https://www.delta-esourcing.com - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=808964326 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/WQF72YKN76 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-York:-Installation-services-of-electrical-and-mechanical-equipment./WQF72YKN76 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-York:-Installation-services-of-electrical-and-mechanical-equipment./WQF72YKN76 - https://www.deltaesourcing.com/respond/WQF72YKN76 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
