This opportunity falls under the railway services industry category and is located in Glasgow, Scotland. Currently in the planning stage, the contract is set for a duration of ten years and seeks a sole supplier for four types of trackbed blocks used in their subway system. Key dates include the publication of a planned procurement notice on 17th December 2018, with documentation available for review, and future notices anticipated by 4th March 2019. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying construction materials, particularly those with experience in railway infrastructure. Given the scope of the ten-year supply contract, firms that can demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and possess capacity for large-scale production and logistics would be particularly well-suited to compete. Interested businesses are encouraged to engage with SPT early to navigate the tendering process effectively. ## Notice The Subway, which comprises two circular routes (each of approximately 10.4 km), is a slab track system in which rail is supported by independent (i.e. no connecting steel bar) twin-block reinforced sleepers (blocks) located either side of a central drainage channel. Blocks are set directly in the surrounding concrete trackbed, with no supporting pad / boot. There are twenty three (23) standard check rails in the slab track system, with a total combined length of approximately 1 km. Blocks through each check rail are of a modified design to accommodate the check rail baseplate. Block design is further modified at locations where conductor rail and check rail are coincident. In summary, there are a total of four (4) block types in the system and SPT requires a sole supplier to supply all four types. The contract will be a 10 year supply contract. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The price of each block shall be the total price including all production, storing and shipping costs to SPT stores at Broomloan depot Delivered duty paid (DDP). This Contract is to be 5 year agreement with a break clause after year 5 at which SPT will review quantities and performance. Subject to performance, SPT will extend the contract for a further 5 years with the single supplier and review pricing with the supplier based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) based on the preceding 12 months..
