## Summary

The public procurement process, initiated by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (UTILITIES), pertains to the tender for "TEML41 Systems Support", aimed at ensuring maintenance for a critical safety system. This process falls under the services category within the transport industry and is located in Glasgow, UK. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the award date for this contract was 14th July 2022, with a total contract value of £57,698. The procurement process is now in the award stage, having been completed after comprehensive negotiations with the supplier, Hitachi Information Control Systems Europe Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the transport and information technology sectors, particularly those specializing in systems maintenance and support. Companies with competencies similar to Hitachi, focusing on safety-critical systems, would be well-positioned to compete for contracts in this domain. Additionally, businesses experienced in managing service contracts aligned with infrastructure projects may find valuable prospects for growth through continuous service delivery and innovation in system support.

## Notice

This relates to the procurement of a support agreement for maintaining our TEML 41 system. This is a safety critical system that was installed and has been maintained by Bombardier since date of install. This system is SPT specific and was designed by Bombardier. However for several years, the function has moved over to Hitachi. As such Hitachi is the only contractor who is competent and willing to provide support of this safety critical system. It is also important to state that during the modernisation of the subway it is imperative that continuity of service with this system is required during the time of change for so many related systems.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This negotiation process comprised of extensive discussions with Hitachi, including process mapping and resulted in a proposal with a level of maintenance that took into account the age of the equipment and aligned with the introduction of new rolling stock. The supplier proposals were fully scrutinised by the SPT Engineering team. SPT entered into contract negotiations with the supplier regarding extension options for contracts until the introduction of the new fleet and signalling contracts. By entering these negotiations in early 2022 and realigning the scope to meet the current business requirements it is aimed to establish best value for SPT throughout the contract life.

Options: The final negotiated term of this contract extension is 2 years years with effect from December 2022 for all TEML41 support including preventative and call out support with an additional 12 month option.
