The procurement involved the design, manufacture, testing, and supply of ten InterCity trains with an option for an additional five trains. The tender was conducted under the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, and the supplier selection was based on the most economically advantageous bid. The procurement method used was selective, and the buying organisation is based in York, United Kingdom. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the railway services industry to engage with London North Eastern Railway Limited for the supply and maintenance of rolling stock. Companies specialising in manufacturing, testing, and supplying railway equipment are well-suited to compete for this contract. The tender stage is currently in the award phase, with the contract for the supply and maintenance of rolling stock already active since November 2023. Businesses interested in expanding their operations in the United Kingdom should consider engaging with the buying organisation for potential future opportunities in the railway sector. ## Notice LNER was seeking to procure a minimum fleet of ten (10) InterCity trains based around specific technical and operating characteristics. The trains were to be fully rated for operation on 25kV Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) and with self-power capability for operation away from the OLE. On Board Energy Storage (OBES) for traction was to be specified as a mandatory requirement to reduce, and wherever practicable eliminate, diesel usage where it would otherwise be necessary. LNER anticipated that some degree of diesel traction may be required to supplement the OBES to meet all the self-power requirements. The trains will provide LNER with additional capacity to accommodate future growth and have performance characteristics that enable the fleet to be timetabled effectively amongst modern InterCity trains, as well as increasing the flexibility of LNER's fleet and providing the ability to provide uninterrupted services during engineering works. ### Lot Information Lot 1 LNER carried out a procurement process with potential manufacturers for the design, manufacture, testing and supply (and associated maintenance activities) of a base order of ten (10) InterCity trains, owner owned spares, special tools, simulator hardware and technical information, mock-ups and depot works for the use on the East Coast franchise. There was also an option to procure up to an additional five (5) trains. LNER chose to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under regulation 47 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR16). LNER is registered with the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS), enabling it to use this as a qualification system for the procurement. A Prior Information Notice was also issued to make suppliers aware of the procurement and set out the process being used (including the proposed registration requirements for the RISQS system and additional selection questions). The successful manufacturer was chosen on the basis of the most economically advantageous bid based on the award criteria set out in the procurement documents. A separate procurement process under the UCR16 was carried out by LNER for the financing of the new trains. Options: LNER has an option to procure up to an additional five (5) trains. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035966-2023 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure with prior call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 8 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY LIMITED | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 6GA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Micklegate | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34620000 - Rolling stock ## Release History - 6 Dec 2023 at 15:01 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035966-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www.lner.co.uk - https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:511766-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
