TfL Ref: FOI-3106-2324
Thank you for your request which we received on 28 November 2023, asking for information concerning Tunnels Outstation Maintenance contract.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You specifically asked:
What are the contractual performance KPI's for this contract?
A copy of the Service Level Agreement is attached.
Suppliers who applied for inclusion on each framework/contract and were successful & not successful at the PQQ & ITT stages: Cubic Transportation Systems Limited were the successful bidder for this contract.
The names of the bidders for this tender are exempt from disclosure under section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act, the exemption that protects against the prejudicial release of commercially sensitive information. In this case, the exemption applies as release of this information would reveal to the world at large which companies bid for the contract and enable their competitors to access useful information about them. This would potentially reduce the competitiveness of the market and hinder TfL’s and their ability to negotiate the best value for money for similar services in the future.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities but in this instance the public interest in ensuring that we are able to obtain the best value for the public purse outweighs the general public interest in increasing transparency of our processes.
Actual spend on this contract/framework (and any sub lots), from the start of the contract to the current date:
The value of the contract is £47M.
