Tender description
This Procurement Event covers the design and build of a fleet of (up to) eleven LWRTs, to replace the rail delivery trains currently in operation. Lot 1: The supply of rail is critical to Network Rail being able to deliver its programme of track maintenance, renewal, and enhancement works. The majority of rail is delivered using a legacy fleet of specialist rail delivery trains. These trains are reaching end-of-life, and an evaluation of future needs has indicated that the procurement of a new fleet of LWRTs offers the best whole life cost option (compared with extending the life of the legacy fleet). Against this background Network Rail has decided to purchase a new fleet of (up to) eleven LWRTs to replace the legacy fleet. This purchase of the new trains aims to deliver a cost-effective solution, allowing significant operational benefits to be delivered through - the introduction of latest technology - application of modern safety practices - the delivery of enhanced operational flexibility/ efficiency (e.g. bi-directional operation, simplified maintenance, Improved ability to recycle used rail).
