The anticipated framework involves two lots: onsite services at ScotRail's Inverness depot and offsite services at a supplier's facility within the UK. The plan outlines a requirement for services adhering to specific technical standards. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage in the market engagement exercise by completing a questionnaire accessible via ScotRail’s e-sourcing portal. This exercise is aimed at gathering data to inform decision-making and potentially catalyse a formal procurement process by mid-2025. The procurement is classified under the "services" category, particularly concerning rail repair and maintenance, with an estimated value of £750,000. This procurement presents opportunities for suppliers with expertise in railway welding and maintenance and those with the capacity to respond swiftly to diagnostic and service requests at ScotRail’s premises. Companies with existing facilities capable of handling large rail machinery and offering transport options for rail components will be well-placed to compete for this tender. Given the focus on industry-specific standards and the need for rapid onsite response capabilities, specialised firms with established compliance systems and logistical operations stand to benefit from engaging with this opportunity as it looks to transition from planning to an active tender process. ## Notice ScotRail are looking to tender for a single supplier framework(s) for Welding & associated services of HST coaches (Mk3), either onsite at our Inverness depot (Lot 1), or offsite at a supplier's facility (Lot 2).
