Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by SE Trains Limited involves the overhaul of the Class 465/0/1 TBOX - Static Converter, classified under the utilities special regime in the services category. The procurement method used is a direct award due to intellectual property and exclusivity factors, indicating no reasonable alternatives. This process corresponds to the award stage, as noted on 27 April 2026, and aligns with legal standards as per UK legislation 2023/54. The contract encompasses a completion date from 1 May 2026 to 31 December 2028, with a subsequent renewal option for a six-month contingency period. Services will be executed within the United Kingdom, providing repair and maintenance services for locomotives under CPV code 50221000. The contract value stands at £1,440,000 gross.

The direct award presents an opportunity for businesses with proprietary technologies, particularly those specialising in locomotive repair and maintenance. Given the exclusivity rationale, enterprises possessing the relevant intellectual property will be in a commanding position to fulfil the contract. Conducted by SE Trains Limited, a public undertaking in London, this tender appeals to companies with proven expertise in specialised train components. ETAC Ltd, based in Godalming, has already been identified as the supplier. Nonetheless, the significant contract value and extended delivery period underscore the potential for growth and expansion in associated fields for suitable contenders.
