What is being bought
TPE specific requirements The locomotives must be compatible with the existing, TPE-operated, CAF MKVa trains. For clarity, the locomotive must have the interface modifications installed to enable control of systems to support passenger service operation, e.g door control, passenger information system, automatic selective door operation (ASDO system). A detailed description of these systems will be provided during the tendering stage. The MKVa rakes are nominally 5-car configuration (including a driver trailer to enable push-pull operation with 1 x Locomotive coupled at the non-DT end of the rake), giving a Total tare mass of 5 x vehicles = 161.11 Tonnes (172.04 Tonnes for VTAC calculation purposes), maximum ETS load of 300kW. The MkVa design also allows for an additional 2 x coaches to be homologated into the design, if the need arose, therefore, the locomotive should be able to operate with up to 7-cars at a total tare mass to 224.89 Tonnes (241 Tonnes for VTAC calculation purposes) and ETS load to 410kW. The Driver Trailer vehicle currently has control equipment fitted that is compatible to the Class 68. For TPE, the supplier should provide a full maintenance provision (TSA type arrangement) and where possible work with TPE to minimise locomotive swaps by aligning maintenance with the Mk5a fleet. The Mk5a Maintenance is currently carried out by Alstom at Longsight Depot in Manchester. GWR specific requirements An option must also be provided to supply up to a further 5 locomotives for the existing GWR riviera sleeper service operated by Mk3's (up to 9 coaches at approx. 344 tonnes tare mass and ETS draw at 340kw). The locomotive must be capable of operating on the Paddington to Penzance route with appropriate consideration of the gradients on the route (see section 'Main site or place of performance') including adequate brake retardation rates and systems to combat the adhesion issues on the route. It is desired to make a step change improvement on communications between the locomotive and coaches, and it would be preferable for the locomotive to be able to interface with the coaches for dispatch and alarm indications. For maintenance on GWR locomotives, a TSSSA agreement would be required with scheduled maintenance carried out by GWR's own staff at Longrock Depot, Penzance and Reading.

    The scope of the services to be provided by the Tenderer awarded the Contract will include (but not be limited to) the following : Purchase 1. under a Manufacture and Supply Agreement (MSA), for the Train Manufacturer and Maintainer (TMM) to design, build, test and commission a minimum of 15 but up to 30 Bi-Mode Locomotives with an Option for a further 5 for First Greater Western. TPE Maintenance 2. In respect to the TransPennine Express requirements, under a Train Services Agreement (TSA), for the TMM to provide train maintenance, servicing and refurbishment services (as required). 3. In following termination or expiry of the TSA, to continue to provide the necessary technical support and spares to the successor maintainer and repairer of the fleet if required under a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA). 4. once in service, payment for services under the TSA will be adjusted to take account of (among other key performance indicators) the availability, reliability and performance of the fleet. GWR Maintenance 5. If the option for the additional locomotives provided for under the MSA is exercised then the Contracting Authority for those additional locomotives will be First Greater Western Limited (trading as GWR). If the GWR Option is exercised the provision of maintenance services under a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) including the ability to adjust payments to take account of (among other key performance indicators) the availability, reliability and performance of the fleet. Further details can be obtained at : http://redirect.transaxions.com/events/nQ5M7 Additional information: The duration set out in this EOI is based upon the expected duration of the TransPennine Express National Rail Contract (under which it operates rail services). This duration may be extended and the Contracting Authority may let a contract for a longer period if the National Rail Contract is extended and/or the Contracting Authority enters into a replacement contract to operate passenger rail services on the Transpennine routes. If the option for the additional locomotives is exercised then it is anticipated that any TSSSA would also be for a duration aligned to the First Greater Western National Rail Contract and such TSSSA could be for a longer period if such National Rail Contract is extended and/or First Greater Wester enters into a replacement contract to operate passenger rail services on the GWR Riviera sleeper route.
