What is being bought

Northern is intending to initiate a future procurement process for the supply and support of engine radiators and associated cooling system components used across its British Rail Class 15x rolling stock fleets. The scope of the procurement will include, but not be limited to, the provision of radiators, coolant pumps and other critical components necessary to ensure the continued safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the cooling systems across these fleets. Suppliers will be expected to demonstrate proven capability in delivering components that meet stringent quality and performance standards, ensure continuity of supply, and provide flexibility to accommodate varying maintenance schedules and operational demands. This notice does not constitute a call for competition but is intended to inform the market of a potential future opportunity. Interested suppliers are encouraged to monitor forthcoming publications for further details.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 34. The category anchor is Parts of locomotives or rolling stock (34631000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
