## Summary

ScotRail Trains Limited is overseeing a procurement process for welding and associated services related to HST coaches (Mk3). This selective tender involves a single supplier framework for services either onsite at ScotRail's Inverness depot or offsite at a supplier's facility. The procurement commenced on 4 August 2025 with the submission deadline for tenders set for 5 September 2025. The negotiation procedure follows a prior call for competition, facilitated through electronic submissions. This tender is classified under railway services and falls within the Inverness location in the UKM62 region, with a contract duration of up to three years. The procurement stage currently focuses on the award, which was completed and signed on 31 March 2026, involving Ross-Shire Engineering as the awarded supplier.

This tender presents a vital growth opportunity for businesses specializing in railway services and capable of meeting technical specifications like EN 15085 and others outlined by WABTEC. Large-scale businesses with the capacity to provide rapid onsite diagnostics and welding services or transport trains for offsite repair via rail or road are particularly suited for this framework. The supplier must also be integrated with ScotRail’s system, ensuring timely responses within 3.5 hours of notification. With a potential contract value of GBP 700,000 and scope for renewal, participating in this tender could significantly bolster a company's portfolio, especially those involved in engineering and transport services within the UK railway sector.
