## Summary

The South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive is facilitating the Supertram Embedded Rail Replacement Phase 2, aimed at replacing embedded rails on the Sheffield Supertram Network. The procurement method selected for this tender is an open procedure, with a contract value of £12,500,000. The procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract period set to commence on 1st October 2018 and concluding on 1st December 2020. The tender submission deadline was on 8th December 2017, and the project is classified under "Track construction works" and "Tramway works".

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specializing in rail construction and maintenance, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale infrastructure projects. Businesses with experience in undertaking works related to transportation systems, especially those involved in tramway construction and track laying, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The anticipated schedule of works running over multiple years also ensures ongoing engagement for contractors in this vital sector.

## Notice

The Executive is the owner of the Supertram system. South Yorkshire Supertram Limited (SYSL) (a subsidiary of Stagecoach), operate the Supertram network, and maintain the majority of the asset for the Executive, under a Concession terminated in 2024. The wear of the embedded rails had reached a condition on certain lengths of the network where it required replacement to prevent the flange of the tram wheels running on the bottom of the rail groove. Accordingly between 2013 and 2015, approximately 15km of embedded rail was replaced. It is proposed to complete the remaining 10km of replacement over the summers of 2018, 2019 and 2020. The works comprise the replacement of the remaining sections of embedded rail on certain sections of the Sheffield Supertram Network where wear has reached a critical condition. The Executive and South Yorkshire Supertram Limited need to ensure the system remains operable and in order to achieve this, the embedded rails need to be replaced. The works are programmed to run between May 2018 and August 2020. Additional information: Full tender documentation can be obtained from www.sypte.co.uk/contracts
