## Description
The Chiltern Railway Company Limited (Chiltern), further to notices 000-026866 and 000-026867, is now also seeking proposals from established rolling stock manufacturers, owners and modifiers for the supply of between 20 and 70 new or converted low emission rolling stock multiple units, and associated maintenance, infrastructure and depot upgrade
services.
This rolling stock must achieve a meaningful reduction in the exhaust emissions and exterior noise levels compared to Chiltern's existing diesel multiple units, particularly in urban areas.
For the avoidance of doubt, notices 000-026866 and 000-026867 for battery electric multiple units remain live and active; and are independent and separate procurements to this
notice. The subject of this procurement notice does not include full battery electric multiple units. Chiltern is now seeking offers for other low emissions solutions as a possible alternative or in addition to full battery electric multiple units.
This notice does not relate to the financing of Rolling Stock, Chiltern may separately seek a financer to support the purchase.
Interested parties should register their interest to participate via the email address listed above.
