Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Ltd initiated a selective procurement process for track maintenance services, focusing on repair, maintenance, and associated services related to railways in the UK region. Although the original tender was cancelled on 9th March 2026, the procurement process for maintaining tracks in the ScotRail network remains relevant. As part of the tender process, participation involves submitting an electronic Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) via the ScotRail Wax Sourcing System, with deadlines previously set on 31st July 2023. The procurement primarily targets the services industry with a requirement for installation services of electrical and mechanical equipment.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in railway maintenance and installation, particularly those proficient in electrical and mechanical equipment services. Companies with existing capabilities in conducting comprehensive railway infrastructure projects could benefit from the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The requirement for electronic submissions ensures streamlined participation, accommodating businesses with robust digital platforms ready to engage in multi-stage procurement and ITN. The focus on objective and suitability criteria in the tender documents provides ample opportunity for leading experts with verified credentials in railway services to showcase their abilities and secure a foothold within the ScotRail network's infrastructure portfolio.
