ScotRail InterCity Replacement Fleet and Technical Support and Spares Supply

Description

ScotRail is seeking proposals for the supply of rolling stock to operate a minimum of 19 service diagrams per day on its intercity routes connecting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling, Dundee, Inverness and Aberdeen.
This competition is  a combined process to select providers of:
(a)	the InterCity Replacement Fleet under a rolling stock lease, including any refurbishment and enhancement work; and a
(b)	technical support and spares supply agreement, with additional maintenance and support during introduction and  may include some heavy maintenance services.
These contracts may be awarded to two different contracting entities. However, in responding to this Contract Notice you are required to respond jointly in a manner that satisfies all contractual requirements.
For example, this may take the form of a joint venture or consortium, with one member providing the InterCity Replacement Fleet, and the other providing the technical support, spares and maintenance elements.
In the event that contracts are subsequently awarded with two different contracting entities, ScotRail may decide to include an interworking agreement between all the contracting entities.
