NTL is publishing this notice on behalf of itself and a number of 'Contracting Utilities/Authorities' including Train Operating Companies in Great Britain, Network Rail, and a number of Local Transport Authorities (see Section VI.3 below) to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the supply, installation, commissioning, ongoing maintenance and operation of Gateline Infrastructure that will enable NTL and the Contracting Utilities/Authorities to run competitions for their requirements among suppliers appointed to the DPS. The services include: a) Supply of New Gateline infrastructure - including the mechanical components required to control passenger access to designated areas; bank-card readers that possess the necessary certification for compliant use; ITSO card and bar-code readers; b) Installation of New Gateline Infrastructure - including any connections to systems and networks. c) Commissioning Services of New Gateline Infrastructure - including any testing and commissioning compliant with all rail industry and other required compliance requirements and standards. d) Ongoing Maintenance and Operation - including device management to enable the operation of new Gateline Infrastructure to effective operational levels, providing an acceptable level of service to the public; and e) Decommissioning of Gateline Infrastructure. The nature of the arrangement is that new equipment will be supplied under a Master Supply Agreement and ongoing maintenance and support services provided under a Support Services Agreement. Gateline Infrastructure equipment is expected to have a lifecycle of up to 15years and it is anticipated that NTL and Contracting Utilities/Authorities will look to have full asset maintenance during this period. Therefore, Support Services Agreements and any associated work orders are likely be put in place to cover this timeline. These requirements will be subject to competitive tendering among the members of the DPS in accordance with the rules of the restricted procedure as required by, and subject to, regulation 52 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. Specific contracts will be awarded according to those rules by the NTL or Contracting/Utilities Authorities in accordance with their specific requirements as set out in individual procurements under the DPS. Suppliers appointed to the DPS will be required to enter into a DPS Agreement setting out the terms on which the DPS will operate including the standard terms and conditions that will be applicable to individual procurements under the DPS.II.2.5) Award criteriaPrice is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documentsII.2.6) Estimated valueValue excluding VAT: 215 000 000.00 GBPII.2.7) Duration of the contract, framework agreement or dynamic purchasing system Duration in months: 48 This contract is subject to renewal: No II.2.10) Information about variants Variants will be accepted: No II.2.11) Information about options Options: No II.2.13) Information about European Union funds The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: No Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical informationIII.1) Conditions for participationIII.1.2) Economic and financial standingList and brief description of selection criteria:Accounts: Copies of audited accounts, or alternative means of demonstrating financial status, for the last two years.
