This tender is classified under repair and maintenance services within the transport industry. Currently, it is in the planning stage, with a tender period expected to commence in early June 2021, although specific move dates and volumes remain undetermined. Interested bidders need to meet the requirements by submitting their proposals before the closing date on 12th April 2021. The moves will be executed from the Merseyrail network to various locations, including Wolverton and Eastleigh, primarily taking place on Sundays between 22:00 and 23:59. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation and logistics, specifically those that can manage moving electric multiple units over non-electrified lines. Companies with relevant capabilities, including those holding a Train Operating License, would be well-positioned to compete. The estimated value for this contract ranges from £200,000 to £800,000, depending on the frequency and complexity of the required tasks, making it an attractive prospect for firms looking to expand their operations in the public transport sector. ## 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 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. Below are the main points for consideration. a) Collection and delivery to the Merseyrail network will be to/from the Stadler maintenance depots at either Kirkdale or Birkenhead North. b) The moves will take place on Sundays (Dates to be confirmed) between 2200hrs and 2359hrs. This could change subject to operational constraints. c) Shunting duties at the depot(s) must be carried out within the 2-hour slot allocated (between 2200hrs and 2359hrs) d) The number of moves cannot be determined at this stage. e) The dates of the moves are estimated as commencing June 2021. f) Depending on several factors, the number of units to be moved could potentially be up to 24 by the end of December 2021, or more into 2022. g) Prior to each move driver names are to be provided together with Assessment Records for relevant traction to be used. h) The delivery locations will be a combination of the following sites; a) Wolverton, Buckinghamshire b) Eastleigh, Hampshire c) Bicester, Oxfordshire d) Kineton, Warwickshire e) Warrington, Cheshire f) Peel Port, Merseyside Merseytravel request that the following is costed for a) One move of one class 777 (4 car unit) one-way from/to the Merseyrail Network to/from each of the locations above. b) One move of two class 777's (Consisting of 8 cars) one-way from/to the Merseyrail Network to/from each of the locations above. ### Lot Information Lot 1 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.
