What is being bought

Published requirement description

TransPennine Trains Limited (TPT) is seeking to procure a supplier for the provision of Station Information & Security Systems (SISS) maintenance and asset management services across its station network. The contract will cover approximately 3,800 assets across 19 stations, including Customer Information Systems, CCTV, public address systems, passenger help points and associated telecommunications, network infrastructure and supporting equipment forming the SISS estate.

The scope includes delivery of planned preventative maintenance and reactive maintenance services to ensure asset availability and performance in line with defined service levels, together with operation of a service management and helpdesk function and maintenance of an accurate asset management system. The supplier will be required to undertake asset verification in the first year and provide ongoing asset management, reporting and performance management thereafter.

The services will be delivered across a range of operational railway environments, requiring the ability to prioritise faults based on operational impact and undertake works safely within a live railway environment. The supplier will also support asset lifecycle management, including interfacing with enhancement and third‐party projects, and delivering minor works such as small‐scale renewals, enhancements and asset modifications.

The contract is intended to deliver a high availability, safety critical maintenance service that supports operational performance, passenger experience and the ongoing management and improvement of SISS assets.

Suppliers must meet all mandatory requirements in order to be considered further. Where more than four suppliers meet the mandatory requirements, responses will be evaluated in accordance with the published scoring methodology and up to four highest‐scoring suppliers will be shortlisted. The second stage will be an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), issued to shortlisted suppliers only, where tenders will be evaluated based on quality, price and social value.
