Official UK procurement notice
Supply and Maintenance of Rolling Stock
Authority: LONDON NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY LIMITED (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLNER was seeking to procure a minimum fleet of ten (10) InterCity trains based around specific technical and operating characteristics. The trains were to be fully rated for operation on 25kV Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) and with self-power capability for operation away from the OLE. On Board Energy Storage (OBES) for traction was to be specified as a mandatory requirement to reduce, and wherever practicable eliminate, diesel usage where it would otherwise be necessary. LNER anticipated that some degree of diesel traction may be required to supplement the OBES to meet all the self-power requirements.
The trains will provide LNER with additional capacity to accommodate future growth and have performance characteristics that enable the fleet to be timetabled effectively amongst modern InterCity trains, as well as increasing the flexibility of LNER's fleet and providing the ability to provide uninterrupted services during engineering works.

The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1LNER carried out a procurement process with potential manufacturers for the design,…Awarded
LNER carried out a procurement process with potential manufacturers for the design, manufacture, testing and supply (and associated maintenance activities) of a base order of ten (10) InterCity trains, owner owned spares, special tools, simulator hardware and technical information, mock-ups and depot works for the use on the East Coast franchise. There was also an option to procure up to an additional five (5) trains.
LNER chose to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under regulation 47 of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (UCR16). LNER is registered with the Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme (RISQS), enabling it to use this as a qualification system for the procurement. A Prior Information Notice was also issued to make suppliers aware of the procurement and set out the process being used (including the proposed registration requirements for the RISQS system and additional selection questions).
The successful manufacturer was chosen on the basis of the most economically advantageous bid based on the award criteria set out in the procurement documents.
A separate procurement process under the UCR16 was carried out by LNER for the financing of the new trains.
