## Summary

Transpennine Trains Limited, based in Manchester, UK, has completed the awarding stage of a procurement process for the extension of the Class 397 Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement. The procurement relates to repair and maintenance services of rolling stock, classified under CPV code 50222000. The contract, valued at £39.4 million, will extend the service period from 30th June 2026 to 25th May 2032 and will cover a global geographical scope, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Europe. The procurement method was noted as 'Other', and key tender dates include the award date on 10th June 2026.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies capable of providing technical support and spare parts supply with experience in the rail industry. While Transpennine Trains Limited has engaged CAF Rail UK Limited as the supplier, companies with similar service offerings and those looking to expand within the rolling stock maintenance sector could benefit from such projects. Despite the procurement not being flagged as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger companies in the sector may find valuable partnership opportunities in future tenders of this nature, given the significant contract value and extensive service requirements.
