Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Limited intends to procure inspection and maintenance services for track and associated infrastructure at all ScotRail depots. The work is described as railway-track construction materials and supplies, although the stated scope centres on specialist inspection and maintenance activity. It will support the condition and operation of track infrastructure across ScotRail’s depot estate in Scotland. The buyer is ScotRail Trains Limited, a railway services organisation and central purchasing body. The requirement is intended for a specialised contractor able to work across depot track environments and maintain associated infrastructure. Businesses supplying or delivering rail track maintenance, inspection and related infrastructure support should consider this procurement relevant to their sector.

This procurement is at the planning stage: ScotRail Trains Limited has announced an intention to procure, but this record is not an invitation to tender. The buyer currently expects the next notice to be published on 8 October 2026. The anticipated total value is £3.5 million, inclusive of the stated procurement value and in GBP. The requirement is arranged as one planned lot covering inspection and maintenance at ScotRail depots. The procurement is classified as a goods requirement and is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available information sets out the requirement and an expected future notice date, rather than a bid deadline or a confirmed tender procedure.

The work is likely to suit established rail infrastructure maintenance contractors with specialist capability in inspecting and maintaining railway track and associated depot infrastructure. Suppliers should be prepared to operate across multiple ScotRail depot locations and to provide a dependable, coordinated service for a railway operator. Relevant experience will include practical track inspection, planned and reactive maintenance, identification of infrastructure defects, and work delivered safely in operational or depot environments. Firms that already support rail operators, depot owners or comparable transport infrastructure will be well placed to prepare. Specialist subcontractors may also be relevant where they bring focused track, inspection or associated infrastructure expertise. The planning stage gives interested businesses time to review their capability and prepare for the future procurement.
