## Description
ScotRail Trains Limited, working with Scottish Rail Holdings, Network Rail and Transport Scotland, is seeking information on additional space and facilities for commissioning, maintenance, servicing, stabling and storage.
We are preparing to introduce replacement Intercity trains and are procuring new Suburban trains, with plans for subsequent fleet replacements also being developed. Over the next 10-15 years, additional space may be needed to accommodate incoming trains before existing fleets leave, maintain operations during depot works and support longer-term requirements. Trains that have left service may also need storage while remaining on lease.
We would like to hear from owners, occupiers and operators of existing railway facilities, sites with spare capacity, and land or premises that could be developed or adapted for railway use.
We invite suppliers to complete this short questionnaire, ScotRail will use the responses to this PIN to inform our assessment of depot and stabling options. This notice is an information-gathering exercise, not a call for competition or a commitment to procure. Any subsequent proposal would be subject to the appropriate business case, funding and approvals. Participation is voluntary and is not a condition of taking part in any future procurement. Respondents are responsible for their own costs. We will follow up responses with a discussion and arrange site visits where needed. Please follow the link to our E Sourcing Portal:
