Procedure rationaleThis fleet of trains have been in operation on the TPE network since 2016.
TPE currently have a TSSSA arrange with CAF on the maintenance of the Class 397's.
The fleet was recently introduced and has a MSA target to achieve reliability target of 45000 MTIN. It is currently achieving 13,457 MAA MTIN. Since this contract is for 12 months, CAF is the only provider that has the technical know-how to provide technical support to this fleet. No other provider will be able to develop their technical knowledge within the available timescales to deliver this contract. TPE cannot allow a capability gap in these services. In addition only CAF has the technical know-how to achieve the MTIN.
A PIN will be issued in due course for the tendering of the Class 397.
It will be difficult for any new maintenance provider to obtain DAA agreements, mobilise/train staff, tools, infrastructure etc prior to the 28th May 2023. |
