## Summary

TRANSPORT UK EAST MIDLANDS LIMITED, based in London, has completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Glass Installation Services for Class 170s." This contract involves the continued provision of specialised glazing components and installation for the East Midlands Railway's Class 170 fleet, with services to be delivered at EMR's Etches Park and Eastcroft Depots. Key players in the process include PSV Glass & Glazing Limited as the supplier. The procurement method was a direct award due to the specialist nature of services required and the maintenance practices in place. The award notice was published on 20th March 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st April 2026 and ending on 13th October 2030.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in rail-approved glazing and installation services. Companies with expertise in specialist glazing and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in rail industry standards, are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. In this instance, the contract valued at £600,000 (net), with a gross amount of £720,000, represents a substantial business opportunity in the railway maintenance industry, reinforcing the importance of highly qualified technicians and compliance with stringent rail safety standards. Businesses able to offer fast curing systems and trained technicians will find this sector ripe for expansion.

## Notice

East Midlands Railway (EMR) intends to award a contract for the continued supply, removal, replacement and installation of glazing components for the Class 170 fleet. This includes the provision of compliant rail-approved windscreens, bodyside glass, passenger door glass and associated materials together with fully qualified installation services delivered at EMR's Etches Park and Eastcroft Depots.

### Procurement Information

Under PA23 Schedule 5 Section 7 (a) A change in supplier would result in goods or services that are different or incompatible. This applies because: Class 170 Glass is bonded requiring highly specialist removal and installation processes. The Supplier provides rail-approved glazing, fast curing systems, and technicians trained specifically for EMR's depots. The Suppliers methods are part of EMR's established operating model at Etches Park and Eastcroft. Switching to another supplier would introduce different materials, processes, adhesives and installation specifications all of which create incompatibility with the existing EMR fleet maintenance practices
