Please refer to FOI-1439-2223
I understands that TFL has a rigorous procurement process that ensures value for money for TFL customers, TFL and British Taxpayers.
1) Please provide a response as to why London Transport (Guernsey) Limited is not part of this process?
2) Why has there been no tender process in the past 9 years?
3) Why are there no plans for tenders in the near future?
4) Is TFL really continuing to work with a company, without tendering, based on a commercial/technical % ratio that is nearly ten years old?
