## Summary

The procurement process for the supply, installation, and maintenance of access ramps and housings within the ScotRail network has reached the award stage. ScotRail Trains Limited, headquartered in Glasgow, United Kingdom, is facilitating this procurement in the goods category under a procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract value totals £800,000 and was signed on August 9, 2023. This project encompasses the entire ScotRail estate, promising substantial enhancements in accessibility infrastructure across Scotland.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities primarily for businesses operating in the railway services and accessibility equipment industries. As the project involves variations to pre-existing agreements with the incumbent supplier, businesses possessing compatible equipment and expertise in bespoke railway systems are poised to gain from collaborations or subcontracting opportunities. Scalability, specialization in maintenance, and logistical competencies will be crucial for firms seeking to contribute to ScotRail’s infrastructure developments and ensure safe and efficient operations within the network.

## Notice

This contract is for the supply, install and maintenance of ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail network. It is intended for any new goods and services to be added to the existing agreements already in place.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract is for the expansion of supply, install and maintenance of access ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail estate.

### Procurement Information

This procurement involves the variation to an existing contract which was lawfully procured whilst ScotRail was under private ownership. The incumbent supplier (Portaramp UK Limited) currently provides maintenance and supply of five different access ramp types which are compatible with over 10 different types of ScotRail fleet. Adding additional ramps from an alternative supplier would create significant challenge regarding compatibility with existing fleet, staff training, safety and maintenance of the ramps. Currently, all ramps are utilised and often redistributed throughout the network based on demand or to assist during special events. Such workings would be unachievable logistically should multiple suppliers supply the equipment. Introducing additional ramps will increase the risk of an incorrect ramp being used or being used incorrectly by the end user. This presents a significant safety risk to both ScotRail employees and customers.
