Dear Sirs,
I wish to make an FOI request for the contract known as TfL 94458 Freight Training Delivery.
Can you please tell me the following?
1. When will this contract be readvertised for tender?
2. If the contract is not being retendered a brief explanation as to why not?
3. A copy of the contract (with costs) covering the current contract. If this has been published, would you mind providing a link? As the original contract commenced several years ago, I feel there is no commercial sensitivity as the original contract was sign some years ago.
