This notice includes the redacted contract as the only change.\*\* London Underground Limited (LUL) (a subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL)) awarded a contract (London Underground Radio Contract) to Motorola Solutions UK Limited (Motorola) for the provision of essential hardware and software services in respect of the London Underground digital radio system (LU Radio System). Substantive service provision under the London Underground Radio Contract will not commence until November 2029. However, LUL requires the London Underground Radio Contract to be entered into in advance of the launch of TfL's Networks and Telecommunications Procurement Project (NTPP) in order to provide continuity and security of service and to support a level playing field for NTPP. NTPP will potentially be based around a three-lot procurement, comprising: - Lot 1: Connectivity Services; - Lot 2: LU Operational Radio; and - Lot 3: Commoditised Connectivity Services. - LU Operational Radio Contract A significant proportion of the requirement for the LU Operational Radio contract (Lot 2) is overlaid on the LU Radio System, meaning that this requirement needs to be supported by Motorola through the provision of essential hardware and software support services and updates for its Dimetra product within the LU Radio System. To facilitate a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory competition for the NTPP LU Operational Radio contract, TfL has therefore entered into the London Underground Radio Contract to secure the provision of critical support services for the LU Radio System beyond the expiry of the current LU Connect contract in November 2029 and to enable the NTPP Lot 2 bidders to prepare their bids based on the same underlying radio system support arrangement. TfL considers this approach to be the best way of maximising competitive tension for the NTPP Lot 2 procurement and ensuring a level playing field for all bidders. The London Underground Radio Contract will be made available to the Lot 2 bidders during the procurement for this purpose. The London Underground Radio Contract may then be novated to the successful Lot 2 bidder (at which point it will become a sub-contract to the 'prime' contract between the successful Lot 2 bidder and TfL), or the successful Lot 2 bidder may be appointed by TfL to act as TfL's managing agent.
