This procurement falls under the railway services industry category and takes place throughout Scotland. The procurement method employed is a limited procedure without prior publication due to the need to vary an existing contract that was originally procured under private ownership. ScotRail awarded the contract in a process marked as "complete," with the contract signed on 9th August 2023. The variation involves compatibility considerations with the existing fleet and safety protocols, with a focus on maintaining continuity of service across the ScotRail network. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in the railway services sector, particularly those with expertise in supplying and maintaining compatible access ramps and relevant equipment. As the agreement is to enhance and support existing arrangements, businesses that can excel in delivering smooth integration with ScotRail's current fleet are ideal candidates. Portaramp UK Limited, the incumbent supplier, has been awarded the contract, highlighting opportunities for companies that can manage logistical challenges and ensure safety compliance when redistributing equipment throughout large transit networks. Expansion within this sector could lead to further collaboration and innovation in servicing public transit needs in Scotland. ## Notice This contract is for the supply, install and maintenance of ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail network. It is intended for any new goods and services to be added to the existing agreements already in place. ### Lot Information Lot 1 This contract is for the expansion of supply, install and maintenance of access ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail estate. ### Procurement Information This procurement involves the variation to an existing contract which was lawfully procured whilst ScotRail was under private ownership. The incumbent supplier (Portaramp UK Limited) currently provides maintenance and supply of five different access ramp types which are compatible with over 10 different types of ScotRail fleet. Adding additional ramps from an alternative supplier would create significant challenge regarding compatibility with existing fleet, staff training, safety and maintenance of the ramps. Currently, all ramps are utilised and often redistributed throughout the network based on demand or to assist during special events. Such workings would be unachievable logistically should multiple suppliers supply the equipment. Introducing additional ramps will increase the risk of an incorrect ramp being used or being used incorrectly by the end user. This presents a significant safety risk to both ScotRail employees and customers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR554808 | | Notice type | OJEU - F6 - Contract Award Notice (Utilities) | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 9 Aug 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 | £800,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTRAIL TRAINS LIMITED | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G2 6HQ | | 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 ### Codes - 34953000 - Access ramps ## Release History - 29 Apr 2026 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F6 - Contract Award Notice (Utilities) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR554808 - 10 Aug 2023 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG485724 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG485724 Supply, install and maintenance of access ramps and housings - This contract is for the supply, install and maintenance of ramps and housings throughout the ScotRail network.
