Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Ltd procured installation of a DVRS braking system on 34 Class 170 diesel multiple-unit trains. The work was a specialist rail engineering service, involving installation at the successful supplier’s own premises rather than at ScotRail’s sites. The trains and associated work were to be handled in the UK. ScotRail Trains Ltd, based in Glasgow, was the buying organisation. The requirement covered one service lot and formed part of the organisation’s railway operations. It would suit businesses with facilities capable of accommodating multiple rail vehicles and with experience installing or modifying braking systems on diesel multiple-unit rolling stock. The stated delivery approach required work to be undertaken at the supplier’s premises, with a planned throughput of two trains per week.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. ScotRail used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, progressing through a pre-qualification questionnaire and an invitation to negotiate. The submission deadline was 20 January 2023 at 08:00, with invitations to the next stage planned for 27 January 2023. The award was made on 9 June 2023 to Wabtec UK Limited, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period was 240 days. The lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 60, and location, weighted at 20. Three electronic bids were received, including two from SMEs. One supplier was taken forward to the second stage. Electronic payment and ordering were provided for, with electronic invoicing allowed.

For a supplier assessing future rail engineering opportunities, this procurement demonstrates demand from ScotRail for fleet modification work requiring specialist braking-system installation on Class 170 diesel multiple units. A credible competitor would need suitable premises for carrying out the work, the equipment and processes to handle multiple trains, and the operational capacity to maintain a throughput of around two vehicles per week. Relevant experience in rail vehicle engineering, braking systems and work on diesel multiple-unit fleets would be important. The procurement also shows that suppliers may need to qualify through a pre-qualification stage before negotiating, submit electronically, and compete on both price and the suitability of their proposed location. The successful supplier was a large specialist rail engineering business.
