Train Movement Services Framework

Chiltern Rail Limited intends to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of train movement and associated rail operational services across the UK rail network. The anticipated scope includes planned train movements and fleet transfers; emergency, contingency, recovery and rescue movements; rolling stock stabling and storage; and specialist rail operations support, including locomotive provision, test and commissioning movements and associated engineering support. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement is to obtain feedback from suitably qualified suppliers on the proposed scope, framework structure, supplier capability and capacity, commercial arrangements and procurement approach before the subsequent competitive procurement is commenced.
