Provision of train replacement services 2025-2027 (2026 Q3)

The scope of the winning bidder, based on the Framework Agreement to be concluded, includes: - operating train replacement buses according to schedule, to provide passenger transport services; and - availability of buses at existing train stations on the railway lines listed in the technical description, for the duration specified by the Contracting Authority, and availability of buses, during which they may be operated as train replacement buses at any time to provide passenger transport services. The subject of part 5 of the public procurement procedure concerns train replacement tasks by bus on public roads along the railway lines listed in the annex to the technical description, which forms part of the procurement documents, in the North-Eastern region of Hungary (as recorded in cell BT-728). The scope of the winning bidder, based on the concluded framework agreement, includes availability and/or deployment of buses of the type and seating capacity specified in the awarded individual contract, passenger boarding, baggage handling, passenger transport services, performing the necessary administration, handling specific on-site customer requests, and performing other tasks detailed in the technical description, in compliance with legal frameworks. The expected number of buses to be used simultaneously at maximum for part 5 is: - for buses in solo design with at least 45 seats, belonging to class M3/II or M3/III, with functioning heating and cooling (capable of maintaining the temperatures specified in the technical description) and at least two remotely operated doors, with at least EURO V environmental classification: 35 units, and - for buses in solo design with at least 18 and at most 44 seats, belonging to class M3/B, with functioning heating and cooling (capable of maintaining the temperatures specified in the technical description) and at least one remotely operated door, with at least EURO V environmental classification: 1 unit. The Contracting Authority states that it may also request the fulfillment of procurement needs exceeding the specified number of buses to be used simultaneously, under the Framework Agreement to be concluded as a result of this procurement, under the same conditions specified in the framework agreement and during its term. In this case, the economic operator party to the framework agreement has no obligation to conclude a contract or perform services beyond the specified preliminary bus requirement. The Contracting Authority draws the attention of Economic Operators to the fact that the provision of services within the scope of the individual procurement needs indicated in this public procurement procedure does not constitute continuous calendar employment, but rather spatially and temporally unpredictable, periodically recurring, individually varying short-term or long-term services with different technical requirements. The specified bus requirement covers the expected highest bus demand during the term of the Framework Agreement. The expected distance to be covered during the term of the framework agreement is 453,683 km (of which 391,689 km for buses meeting suitability requirement M/2.1, and 61,994 km for buses meeting suitability requirement M/2.2), for which the Contracting Authority assumes no obligation. The expected availability time during the term of the framework agreement is 26,723 hours, for which the Contracting Authority assumes no obligation. Given the unpredictability of the Contracting Authority's procurement needs in terms of time and quantity, the Contracting Authority can only estimate the approximate magnitude of the individual contracts to be concluded under the framework agreement. The expected magnitude of the largest individual contract to be concluded under the framework agreement is estimated based on the number of buses required for simultaneous fulfillment, the average daily mileage of a single bus, and the average of ad hoc orders...
