Why this procedure was chosen
Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 on the basis that only one supplier can deliver the required goods for technical reasons as the components originate from the TfWR fleet and are already compatible with EMR's Class 170 units. No reasonable alternatives or substitutes exist in the supply market. The contract supports fleet availability by mitigating supply chain risk, reducing downtime, and avoiding the high cost of new replacements.
