Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Limited procured a labour-only rolling stock glass replacement service through a single-supplier framework agreement. The main requirement covers glass replacement on Class 170 trains at Haymarket Depot in Edinburgh and Class 334 and Class 380 trains at Shields Depot in Glasgow. ScotRail may also require work on other train classes in future. Services must comply with ScotRail Vehicle Maintenance Instructions, so the requirement is aimed at contractors able to carry out specialist railway vehicle glazing work within an operational rolling stock maintenance environment. The procurement is classified as railway transport support services. ScotRail is both the buyer and central purchasing body, and electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements apply to the resulting framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Assenta Ltd.; the resulting contract is active. ScotRail used a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition, with a second stage limited to three candidates. It was a single-lot framework with one permitted participant, evaluated through the supplier’s PQQ and initial tender. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 12:00, and the award contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with provision for two optional one-year extensions. The estimated procurement value was £450,000, although no separate awarded value is stated. Submissions and procurement communications were electronic and in English.

This outcome identifies a recurring specialist requirement for firms that can provide skilled labour for railway vehicle glass replacement, rather than a general glazing service. A credible future supplier would need to work across ScotRail’s Edinburgh and Glasgow depot locations, understand the practical demands of maintaining Class 170, 334 and 380 rolling stock, and follow ScotRail Vehicle Maintenance Instructions. Capability to support additional train classes would strengthen its fit as the buyer’s requirements develop. The single-supplier framework indicates that ScotRail values a provider able to cover the full requirement, coordinate delivery across depots and operate within electronic procurement, ordering, payment and invoicing processes. Relevant rolling-stock maintenance experience and sufficient mobile or depot-based labour capacity would therefore be important.
