OJEU - F6 - Contract Award Notice (Utilities)
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Transport for Wales Rail Limited (Utility Buyer) issuing a tender for the manufacture, supply, maintenance, and leasing of 11 x 4-car class 231 diesel electric multiple units. The buyer organisation, located in Rhondda Cynon Taf, UK, initiated the tender through a limited procurement method with an award procedure without prior publication. The award date for the £361,003,000 contract was on 22nd December 2022. This opportunity in the goods category presents a chance for large-scale businesses like Cambrian Rail Partnership No.1 LLP and Stadler Rail Service UK Limited to compete for significant contracts in the railway services sector.

The tender by Transport for Wales Rail Limited provides business growth opportunities in the rail industry for companies specialising in railway services. The contracting authority's decision to renegotiate maintenance agreements led to the need for the tender, creating potential for large-scale suppliers to participate in the procurement process. Key deadlines and contract details indicate a strategic move towards hybrid diesel-electric vehicles, outlining a long-term partnership between the buyer organisation and suppliers to enhance and maintain the existing railway infrastructure. Businesses interested in long-term contracts in the rail sector should consider this tender as it aligns with the de-carbonisation initiatives and future-proofing strategies of the contracting authority.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

Cambrian Rail Partnership No.1 LLP for the manufacture, supply, maintenance and leasing of 11 x 4-car class 231 diesel electric multiple units ("DeMUs"). This award is a variation of existing contracts originally between Keolis Amey Operations / Gweithrediadau Keolis Amey Limited ("KA"), the then operator of Wales and Borders Franchise and Cambrian Rail Partnership No.1 LLP, Stadler Bussnang A.G and Stadler Rail Service UK Limited for the manufacture, supply, maintenance and leasing of 11 x 4-car class 231 diesel electric multiple units ("DeMUs").

Options: TfW will either-1.purchase DeMUs in 2033 for a fixed residual value ("RV") sum, or lease them until at least 2048 (or pay a termination sum); or 2.if not purchased in 2033, purchase the DeMUs in 2048 for a fixed RV sum, or lease them until at least 2058 (or pay a termination sum); and 3.if it has not purchased DeMUs in 2048, purchase them in 2058 for their then market value

Procurement Information

Due to TfWRL "stepping in" in place of KA as operator of last resort and the consequent transfer of maintenance staff to the public sector, it has become necessary to re-negotiate the maintenance arrangements agreed by KA for the DeMUs with the Owners, as set out in more detail in the "Additional Information" section. The Owners have certain exclusive rights (in particular intellectual property rights in the design of the DeMUs) and contractual rights under the existing maintenance arrangements. As a condition of agreeing to the revised maintenance arrangements, the Owners require protection against the additional risks that the revised arrangements present, as set out in more detail in the "Additional information" section. Accordingly, TfWRL, TfW and/or WM are entitled to enter into the revised arrangements under Reg. 32(2)(b)(iii) PCR / Reg. 50(2)(b)(iii) UCR (protection of exclusive rights). Further or in the alternative, it would not be practically possible from an IP ownership perspective nor a technical perspective for anyone other than Stadler to carry out the hybridisation work, or to carry out the revised maintenance service and role. Accordingly, WM, TfW and/or TfWRL are also entitled to rely on reg. 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR / reg. 50(2)(b)(ii) UCR (competition is absent for technical reasons). The rationale is set out in more detail in the "Additional Information" section.
