Description

The Woolwich Ferry (WF) service was transferred to TfL in 2000. In January 2021, the
operation was taken in-house by TfL, having been run through outsourced marine operators
until the end of 2020. Every 5 years, vessels have to undergo dry docking which is necessary
to maintain vessel classification and to ensure a safe, operable and reliable service. The drydocking
includes inspections and maintenance of the ferries and this is the first occurrence
for TfL's two vessels, and the first such contract undertaken by TfL. Both vessels need this
activity to occur before October 2023 otherwise will not be permissible to operate on the
Thames.
This procurement will procure the following elements of the Woolwich Ferry Resilience and
Renewals Programme.
• Drydocking, berthing and associated utilities
• Class Renewal
• Running Repairs
• Detailed design and price for a number of alterations / upgrades
Completion of alterations / upgrades dependent upon further approval
A PCR 2015 compliant procurement process will be conducted to appoint a single supplier
to carry out the services using BIMCO Repaircon terms and conditions.
Please contact TfL for information on how to bid
