Summary of the contracting process

Northern Trains Limited has extended its contract with PSV Glass & Glazing Limited to provide a glass replacement fitment service for its Class 170/195/331 units. The contract, which was initially set to expire on 13th March 2025, will now be extended for an additional three years, concluding on 13th March 2028. This extension is being conducted as a limited procurement method due to the unique technical capabilities of PSV Glass & Glazing Limited, avoiding a competitive tender process. The main procurement category is goods, specifically railway and tramway locomotives and rolling stock and associated parts, with services to be delivered in the North East and North West regions of England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in rail safety certifications, efficient supply chain management, and technical support capabilities. Companies well-suited to compete in this market are those with experience in providing safety-critical engineering products and services, particularly for railway applications. PSV's qualifications, such as RISQS accreditation for rolling stock glass installation, Personal Track Safety (PTS) certification, and comprehensive 24/7 call-out service, highlight the specialised nature of the work required. Businesses operating in similar capacities could explore collaborative roles or sub-contracting opportunities to benefit from the extended contract period.

To be achieved by providing suitably qualified services teams, compliant glass parts, materials and the necessary tools and equipment as specified by the train manufacturer to safely carry out the services.
