UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

Proposed improvements as part of Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) will deliver an opportunity for signal infrastructure upgrades by the end of 2029 between Manchester and York via Huddersfield and Leeds introducing ETCS (European Train Control System) operation over sections of the newly improved infrastructure allowing more trains and faster journey times between Leeds and Manchester. To support acquisition of Level 2 knowledge for its Driver workforce via simulation, TPE will require 8 desktop devices to be procured, allowing simplified mobilisation of training at its affected TRU depots.

TPE has commenced a procurement process with potential manufacturers for the supply of new trains for use in passenger service and the provision of maintenance services. The scope of that procurement covers; (a) new rolling stock (the "Units") for use in passenger revenue earning passenger service on the TPE Routes; (b) associated spares, special equipment and tooling (the "Associated Equipment"); (c) full servicing, maintenance and overhaul services in respect of the Equipment, on the basis of the TSA (the "Maintenance Services"); and (d) potential new train maintenance depot facilities to support delivery of the TSA Please see the Fleet requirements via the following link : http://redirect.transaxions.com/events/KL0qD

TPE operates a fleet of twelve Class 397 electric multiple units. These units were built by CAF and operate inter-city services on the west coast mainline. The units will be due for their first overhaul from spring-2024 (current assumption but this may change and an invitation for expressions of interest was previously issued which that commencement date was expected to be mid-2023) and will require certain modifications to be performed by the OEM. TPE is now seeking expressions of interest from high quality maintenance performers for the provision of the works.
