Notice Title
Combined Fleet and Station Presentation
Notice Description
The key objective of the LNER Train and Station Cleaning Services contract is to identify a partner who is able to deliver and continue to improve on the high standards, utilising efficiency, flexibility and innovation in line with the needs of our customers and our business. LNER seek to support an innovative and dynamic Service Partner who provides a customer and facilities centric presentation services solution, whilst optimising performance, achieving robust resource management and efficiency in a continuous improvement and evolving environment. One of the key requirements of this process is the combination of both the fleet and station aspects and LNER are looking for the bidders to utilise resource across both areas therefore increasing the efficiency of the proposed workforce. This will be a key aspect in LNER selecting a Presentation Partner to work with going forward.

The Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill received Royal Assent on 28th November 2024 and will be followed by legislation to create Great British Railways (GBR). The objective of these is to bring track and train closer together, improve performance and provide the best service and experience for the customer.

LNER's fleet of Azuma trains are fundamental in enabling us to deliver the greatest change to the timetable since electrification delivering faster journey times, increased frequency and more direct services to our communities on and around the East Coast Mainline.
