Joint Legionella Testing testing from both ScotRail Trains and Network Rail

SCOTRAIL TRAINS LTD

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The joint procurement initiative by ScotRail Trains Ltd and Network Rail Ltd, titled "Joint Legionella Testing," is focused on Legionella testing services across various Maintenance Delivery Units, Signal Boxes, Power Signal Boxes, and ground frames throughout the Scotland Route. This project, currently in the award stage, began as a tender process initiated on 7th November 2022 and involved a selective, negotiated procedure with prior competition call. Although initially active, the procurement status was later changed to cancelled, discontinuing further procurement activities. This venture falls under the services category and adheres to relevant legislative standards, with a procurement period that included key submission deadlines and multiple stages of candidate selection.

This tender represented significant opportunity for businesses specialising in water monitoring and risk assessment services. With potential projects extending up to 1440 days and possibilities for a 24-month extension, companies could leverage this contract for growth, particularly those with expertise in compliance and technical service delivery within railway services. Businesses able to navigate complex procurement structures and deliver high-quality results in compliance with statutory guidelines are ideally suited to such competitive calls. Despite its cancellation, similar opportunities in the future will interest firms that value partnership development with major railway service providers such as ScotRail and Network Rail.
