Description

Legal Justification
A direct award is justified beacuse WCL is the only supplier capable of delivering the highly specialist programme management expertise required for the Future Operating Model. TfW consulted its framework suppliers and interviewed multiple candidates, but no alternatives had the necessary experience in managing large-scale rail infrastructure business change, nor the unique understanding of both TfW and AIW operating models.
Other Information
Due to the highly specialised knowledge required—particularly experience of managing large-scale rail infrastructure change and familiarity with both TfW and AIW operating models—the market was assessed and no suitable alternative suppliers were identified. WCL is the only supplier able to provide personnel with the necessary expertise and continuity to ensure a safe and effective transition. The contract will run for one year with an option to extend for a further year. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. **
