Published justification

1st in Rail have been NTL's track maintenance provider from 2018 onwards however the contract in place has now lapsed without a permitted extension option. This direct award is to ensure that NTL remains protected by improved contract terms whilst necessary planned and unplanned safety critical works are undertaken to allow the depots to continue operating.

The contract being awarded is to provide 12 months cover which will allow for a long term solution to be developed, tendered and implemented. To allow for change within this 12 month contracted period, the contract has a 30 day termination for convenience provision included. This will allow NTL to exit the agreement early once a longer term solution has been planned for and rolled out.
