## Summary

The contracting authority, FIRST TRANSPENNINE EXPRESS LIMITED, has initiated a procurement process titled "TPE - Overhaul of Class 397 Electric Multiple Units (EMU)" in the services industry category. The tender is currently at the planning stage and involves the overhaul of electric multiple units operating on the west coast mainline in the UK. The deadline for submissions is September 29, 2022, and the procurement method is a selective negotiated procedure with prior call for competition.

This tender opportunity presents businesses in the repair, maintenance, and associated services industry with the chance to provide high-quality maintenance services for the overhaul of Class 397 electric multiple units. Companies with expertise in electrical, mechanical, and bodyshell systems, along with experience in project management and component replacement, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The opportunity is especially relevant for businesses with capabilities in railway services and the transport and distribution of gas and heat.

## Notice

TPE operates a fleet of twelve Class 397 electric multiple units. These units were built by CAF and operate 125mph services on the west coast mainline. The units will be due for their first overhaul from mid-2023 (current assumption but this may change) and TPE is now seeking expressions of interest from high quality maintenance performers for the provision of the works

### Lot Information

Lot 1

TPE has arrangements in place with CAF for the supply of all parts required for the overhaul and requires a supplier with vehicle jacking facilities and 25Kv overhead lines to undertake the component replacement. A major element of the works will be bogie exchange but other components also require replacement. TPE will be seeking project management services from the supplier and will expect the supplier to be able to draft its own work instructions based upon the overhaul instructions supplied by CAF. The supplier must be competent in electrical, mechanical and bodyshell systems.
