## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Merseytravel, is for the tender titled "Rolling Stock Class 777 Moves," focusing on repair and maintenance services within the transport sector. Located in the North West region of the United Kingdom, this open procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with the tender period set to conclude on 12th April 2021. The contract is anticipated to commence on 4th May 2021 and run until 4th November 2023, with an estimated value of £800,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, especially those skilled in logistics and vehicle maintenance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the project requires expertise in moving electric multiple units over non-electrified lines. With the requirement for multiple moves depending on vehicle delivery and network capacity, companies with flexible operational capabilities and maintenance services can leverage this opportunity for growth.

## Notice

Due to a capacity issue on the Merseyrail Electric Network there will be a requirement to move a number of the class 777 units to locations outside of the network. The class 777 units are Electric Multiple units at a length of 65m and consist of 4 cars units operated by means of a 750dc 3rd rail. The units will have to be hauled over non-3rd rail electrified lines. The number of moves required is unknown at present but it is expected movement from the network will need to commence during the first week in June. The regularity of the required moves will depend upon the number of units delivered to the UK and capacity of the Merseyrail network at the time.
