Summary of the contracting process

ScotRail Trains Limited, located in Glasgow, is the buying organisation for the procurement titled "Class 318 & 320 STPI Relays," which falls within the railway services industry category. The procurement involves the replacement of Square D type relays with STPI for the Class 318, 320 and 320/4 Electric Multiple Units (EMU) fleets. The procurement was finalised on 18th May 2026, and the contract is now active, having been awarded according to The Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulation 2016. The project's delivery location is the Shields Road Depot, Glasgow. The procurement method used was a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to technical reasons that restrict competition.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in railway equipment and systems, particularly those already working with technical components compatible with the existing ScotRail fleets. The project requires specific expertise in the integration and supply of relays suitable for the Class 318 and 320 models, ensuring a seamless operational transition. Companies with the necessary technical capabilities and a focus on railway systems integration could benefit significantly from engaging in such contracts to expand their service offerings and strengthen their standing within the transport sector. This procurement not only emphasises a continuity of service but also highlights the need for innovation and technical proficiency in meeting the stringent requirements set by ScotRail Trains Limited.
