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 across Scotland. The work is classified as railway track construction works, but the stated requirement is for a specialist contractor to inspect and maintain depot track and related infrastructure. This is a works contract supporting the safe and reliable operation of ScotRail’s depot network. The buyer is ScotRail Trains Limited, based in Glasgow, and it is acting as both the contracting buyer and a central purchasing body. The requirement is grouped into a single package covering the depot estate rather than being split into separate geographical or technical packages.

This procurement is at the planning stage: ScotRail has announced an intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 6 October 2026. The planned contract has an estimated total value of £3,500,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. It is planned as a single lot covering inspection and maintenance of track and associated infrastructure at all ScotRail depots. The record identifies the requirement and planned next notice, but does not set out a tender deadline, contract duration, procurement method or evaluation criteria at this stage.

The work will suit specialist railway infrastructure contractors experienced in inspecting and maintaining depot track and associated assets. Suppliers will need the technical capability to work on railway environments and the operational capacity to support all ScotRail depots across Scotland, rather than a single site. Businesses with established rail maintenance teams, suitable inspection and repair equipment, and experience coordinating work across a dispersed depot estate are likely to be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. The buyer’s stated focus is track and related infrastructure maintenance, so relevant rail engineering and asset-maintenance experience will be more directly applicable than general construction capability. Prepare to demonstrate specialist competence and delivery capacity.
