What is being bought
The contracting authority will enter into Train Services Agreements (TSA) contracts with the suppliers for the maintenance of rolling stock for use on Greater Anglia routes. These contracts will be for the maintenance of the fleet of 133 x 5 car Class 720 units, 10 x 12 car Class 745/0 units, 10 x 12 car Class 745/1 units, 14 x 3 car Class 755/3 units and 24 x 4 car Class 755/4 units.
A response against the entire maintenance scope will be required by the tender, with each bidder determining whether each item of scope will be delivered internally or via subcontract. For non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) bidders, it is a requirement that they will need to negotiate a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA) with the associated OEM in order to submit a complete response.
Prices will be sought for a:
• 5-year contract;
• 10-year contract with a 5-year performance-related break clause; and
• 15-year contract with 5- and 10-year performance-related break clause.

Planning and rationale
Planning budgetNot published |
No-engagement rationaleGreater Anglia (Transport UK East Anglia Limited) undertook a preliminary market engagement exercise with maintenance service providers in April 2025. The purpose of the exercise was to establish the appetite and capability of the rolling stock maintenance market to participate in a tender for maintenance of the GA fleets when the current maintenance agreements expire.
A Preliminary Market Engagement Notice was not issued as Greater Anglia (Transport UK East Anglia Limited) as a private utility was not required to, and timescales and arrangements for transfer to GA Trains Limited were not defined.
