Summary of the contracting process

SE Trains Limited (trading as Southeastern) issued a tender for "Maintenance Support for Class 395 High Speed Rolling Stock" under the industry category of "Repair and maintenance services of rolling stock." This procurement process was classified as a selective, negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The tender consisted of two lots: a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) and a Spares Supply Agreement (SSA), targeting services with delivery locations primarily at the Ashford Train Maintenance Centre in Kent. Key dates included the tender period ending on 21st September 2023 and the invitation date for the second stage being 5th October 2023. The procurement aimed for full contract mobilisation by October 2024. However, by 12th November 2024, it was decided that no contracts would be awarded due to bidders not meeting the required contract terms.

This procurement opportunity provided significant potential for businesses in the railway maintenance sector to establish or expand their service portfolios. Ideal candidates included companies with extensive experience in rolling stock maintenance and supply chain management. Participating in this tender would have been particularly advantageous for businesses capable of providing technical support, managing maintenance materials and spares, and integrating sophisticated materials management systems. The procurement's structured approach, which included options for contract extensions up to a maximum of ten years, represented a substantial business growth opportunity for qualified suppliers.
