Total Quantity or Scope

The Woolwich Ferry has two terminals, one south of the River Thames and one to the north of the river. Each terminal contains two Linkspans which act as a drawbridge that provides vehicle and pedestrian/cycle access and egress between the ferry and the terminals. The Linkspans need to be regularly maintained and the scope of this procurement includes: • Condition surveys, including non-destructive testing and maintenance of • Counterweight systems • Yoke pins • Hoist bottom ends including Orkot bushes • Sprag mechanical linkages • Battle deck bearings • Road deck rocker bearings • Source or manufacture replacement parts • Temporary works to access the Linkspans for maintenance purposes • Maintenance and renewal of other TfL marine infrastructure • Minimising any effects of the maintenance works on the operational performance of the ferry. The contract is anticipated to last for approximately twelve months including delivery of the 5 yearly maintenance requirements, with an option to undertake further routine and reactive maintenance works up to a maximum of four years. Due to operational and infrastructure constraints, TfL are looking to maintain the ferry service whilst the maintenance works are undertaken. This may require the supplier to work outside of the Woolwich Ferry operational hours. The supplier will need to liaise with stakeholder during the course of the works and may need to gain any necessary consent from and/or be licensed by the Port of London Authority (PLA) undertake these types of works on the River Thames, London. The scope also includes non-routine maintenance for activities (including any necessary design input) for works such as defect rectification, the replacement of minor assets and some minor capital renewals. The Supplier will need to be available at all times to respond to these requests.
