This opportunity reflects their response to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on ScotRail Passenger Services. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a key future notice date set for 27 February 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 March 2022 and will originally be awarded for one month, potentially extendable for up to seven additional monthly periods depending on various factors. Interested parties can find more information on Transport Scotland's website. This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses involved in rail transport services, particularly those that can adapt to the evolving requirements due to the pandemic. Companies experienced in public transport operations, including potentially smaller operators or those specialising in rail service provision, would be well-suited to compete for this temporary measures agreement. This is an advantageous chance for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the rail industry and respond to increased demand for transport solutions in the aftermath of COVID-19. ## Notice T-01 Rail transport services ### Lot Information Lot 1 Introduction Transport Scotland, on behalf of The Scottish Ministers, entered into Emergency Measures Agreement arrangements (EMA) with Abellio ScotRail Limited from 1st March 2020 in respect of the ScotRail Passenger Services Franchise, following the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible that the EMA may be in place for up to two years from that date. Thereafter Transport Scotland, on behalf of The Scottish Ministers, may, depending on matters including the scale and pace of the recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (which remains uncertain) and the consequences of the same for ScotRail Passenger Services, wish to be able to make a direct award of a Public Service Contract to Abellio ScotRail Limited under Article 5(3a) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on public passenger transport services by rail and by road as amended (retained EU Law) (Temporary Measures Agreement). Such a Temporary Measures Agreement may be necessary as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences for rail passenger services provided in respect of the ScotRail Passenger Services Franchise. The current Franchise Agreement (FA) between Scottish Ministers and Abellio ScotRail Limited is due to expire as of 31st March 2022. More information can be found on Transport Scotland's website: https://www.transport.gov.scot/public-transport/rail/scotrail-franchise/ The terms of the Temporary Measures Agreement would vary the terms of the current FA, to address continuing consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, similarly to the variations made under the EMA. As an alternative to the above and depending on the circumstances, Transport Scotland, on behalf of The Scottish Ministers may wish to be able to make a direct award of a Temporary Measures Agreement under Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB408048 | | Notice type | OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 27 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT SCOTLAND | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G4 0HF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Anderston/City/Yorkhill | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 45 - Construction work - 60 - Transport services (excl.
