Renewal

The contract may be extended for up to four further periods of twelve months each, exercisable at the Authority's sole discretion by written notice. The initial term ends on 10 September 2032. If all four extensions are exercised the contract ends on 10 September 2036, giving a maximum total term of nine years and seven months from the contract start date. Each extension is a separate twelve month period, exercised independently, so the Authority may exercise some, all or none of them. The extensions would be used to maintain continuity of the destination display and audio visual announcement service across the franchised fleet where the equipment remains serviceable and supported, and to align the end of the contract with the Authority's wider on-bus technology and fleet replacement programmes. The rates tendered apply throughout any extension period, subject only to the indexation provisions in the Pricing Schedule.

Options

The Authority reserves the right to order up to a maximum of 1,100 destination display units and up to a maximum of 1,100 AVA units during the contract period at the rates tendered, without a further tendering exercise. These are separate maximums for each type and not a combined total. The base requirement is 738 destination display units and 723 AVA units. The option would be used to allow for growth in the franchised fleet, for vehicles entering the fleet after the three implementation phases, and for replacement of equipment damaged or otherwise requiring replacement beyond the 2% spares allowance included in the base requirement. Orders placed under this option are at the rates tendered in the Pricing Schedule and are subject to the maximum contract value stated in this notice. The total value stated in this notice includes these optional additional orders.
