The work covers an observation regime, proactive maintenance, in-situ repairs and commutator resurfacing where appropriate, helping vehicles return to service. Delivery and maintenance activity will take place at Shields Depot, 35 St Andrews Drive, Glasgow. This is a rail services opportunity, covering maintenance and repair of railway equipment. The requirement is a single service lot and is managed by ScotRail as the buying organisation. The service is bespoke to the traction motors used on the specified fleets, so suppliers should be able to work within a depot-based rail operating environment and support vehicles being returned to traffic. The procurement has reached tender: ScotRail invited suppliers to submit offers through a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Responses, comprising both the pre-qualification questionnaire and invitation to negotiate submission, had to be made electronically through ScotRail’s sourcing system by 12:00 on 19 October 2026. The proposed contract was anticipated to start on 18 January 2026 and run for an initial three years, with options to extend for up to one year on two separate occasions. The stated contract duration is 1,080 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation is based on technical quality at 60% and price at 40%. Successive reduction applies, and variants are not allowed. This opportunity suits rail engineering and rolling-stock maintenance specialists with practical expertise in electrical traction motors, particularly on Class 318 and Class 320 vehicles. Relevant capability includes planned observation and condition monitoring, proactive maintenance, fault diagnosis, in-situ repair and commutator resurfacing. Suppliers need to provide staff names and professional qualifications, and execution is reserved to a particular profession, so suitably qualified specialist personnel are central to participation. The work requires the capacity to attend and operate from Shields Depot in Glasgow and to support vehicles returning to traffic. Businesses with established railway maintenance procedures, depot-based response capability and experience working safely on operational rail fleets are best placed to compete. ## Notice ScotRail have a requirement for a bespoke electrical traction motor service for the Class 318 and 320 Fleets.
