Notice Title
Acquisition of Class 170 Rolling Stock Spare Parts
Notice Description
EMR intends to award a contract to Transport For Wales Rail Limited (TfWR) for the purchase of 1217 spare parts for the Class 170 Fleet, including critical components such as saloon HVAC modules, cab HVAC Modules and electronic control and communication units (SACU and CACU). These parts are essential for maintaining operational availability, reducing downtime and supporting the long term sustainability of the EMR Class 170 Fleet.
Procurement Information
Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 on the basis that only one supplier can deliver the required goods for technical reasons as the components originate from the TfWR fleet and are already compatible with EMR's Class 170 units. No reasonable alternatives or substitutes exist in the supply market. The contract supports fleet availability by mitigating supply-chain risk, reducing downtime, and avoiding the high cost of new replacements.
