| Notice Type: | Award notice |
| Buyer: | Transpennine Trains Limited |
| Main Category: | Services |
| Procurement Method: | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition |
| Method Rationale: | The proposed supplier is the existing maintenance partner of the Class 397 units and therefore uniquely placed from a technical engineering advisory perspective (Technical Grounds). TPE ran a competitive procurement for these services, which resulted in abandonment due to affordability. Re-running this procurement would add unnecessary cost and risk availability of the fleet for public use (Public Good). TransPennine Express is awarding this contract to coincide with the end of our existing lease for these units, whilst simultaneously working on a future strategy for the maintenance of this fleet, reviewing competing this services in the future (post 2031). |
