Notice Description
This Procurement Event covers the design and build of a fleet of (up to) eleven LWRTs, to replace the rail delivery trains currently in operation.
Lot Information
Lot 1
The supply of rail is critical to Network Rail being able to deliver its programme of track maintenance, renewal, and enhancement works. The majority of rail is delivered using a legacy fleet of specialist rail delivery trains. These trains are reaching end-of-life, and an evaluation of future needs has indicated that the procurement of a new fleet of LWRTs offers the best whole life cost option (compared with extending the life of the legacy fleet). Against this background Network Rail has decided to purchase a new fleet of (up to) eleven LWRTs to replace the legacy fleet. This purchase of the new trains aims to deliver a cost-effective solution, allowing significant operational benefits to be delivered through - the introduction of latest technology - application of modern safety practices - the delivery of enhanced operational flexibility/ efficiency (e.g. bi-directional operation, simplified maintenance, Improved ability to recycle used rail). The Procurement Documents can be downloaded from Network Rail's BravoNR sourcing platform via this link: https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html From the welcome screen, access the 'View Current Opportunities' link and select '#16453 - Design and Build of a Fleet of Long Welder Rail Trains (LWRTs)'
Options: the initial requirement will be for eight LWRTs with the option to call off up to three additional LWRTs, as dictated by operational requirements. It is envisaged that the LWRT specification will set out the requirements for the 'minimum viable LWRT product', plus additional optional enhancements. The optional enhancements will be reviewed, validated, and adopted (as appropriate) during the tender review phase of the procurement).
