This interim arrangement is necessary while the new tendering activity is completed. The decision is based on the rationale that switching suppliers at this stage would result in disproportionate technical difficulties and incompatibilities, thereby meeting the criteria for direct award under the Act.\nParticularly due to: \nExisting supplier infrastructure that is tailored to TfL head office sites. \nIntegrated delivery processes and contractual arrangements already in place. \nThe need to ensure uninterrupted service continuity during high-demand operational periods.",
