  • Due to delays in the introduction of its new intercity rolling stock, East Midlands Railway is extending the lease of its incumbent Class 222 fleet and therefore requires the continued provision of maintenance and engineering support services for its Class 222 fleet. The scope of services includes scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, technical engineering support, fleet reliability activities and associated services necessary to ensure the continued safe and effective operation of the fleet. The contract is required to maintain continuity of maintenance provision at Etches Park depot where the maintenance of the fleet has been carried out for a number of years and is embedded within depot operations and avoid disruption to passenger rail services whilst longer-term arrangements are implemented. The services support fleet availability, operational performance, safety compliance and the ongoing delivery of passenger services.Value not stated

Why this procedure was chosen
Transport UK East Midlands Limited intends to award a contract to Hitachi Rail Limited without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract relates to the continued provision of maintenance services for the Class 222 fleet. The services are required to ensure the safe, reliable and uninterrupted operation of passenger rail services during the period leading up to completion of the Class 222 fleet withdrawal programme and introduction of the Class 810 fleet. A change of supplier during this period would create significant operational, technical and programme risks. Hitachi Rail Limited possesses detailed knowledge of the fleet, the existing maintenance arrangements and the associated transition programme. The appointment of an alternative supplier would require substantial mobilisation, knowledge transfer, training and integration activities, resulting in duplication of cost and unacceptable risk to fleet availability and service continuity. The contracting authority considers that the contract may therefore be awarded without prior publication of a contract notice because competition is absent for technical reasons within the meaning of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, as the services can only be provided by the existing provider without causing significant operational disruption and unacceptable risk to service continuity. The duration of the contract is limited to the period necessary to support withdrawal of the Class 222 fleet and the transition to the Class 810 fleet.
