This procurement seeks experienced bidders to offer heavy maintenance solutions that will include corrosion investigation and rectification for Chiltern's MKIII fleet.

Interested Bidders should be UK-based, must have performed heavy maintenance services and corrosion repair work on MKIII and DVT units or (similar rolling stock) in the last 8 years, and should have available capacity and resources to commence and complete the Heavy Maintenance by February 2025 Interested Bidders should register their interest in taking part by emailing procurement@arrivatrains.co.uk to receive further information.
