SUPPLY OF NEW ROLLING STOCK, SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTENANCE SUPPORT SERVICES - Find a Tender
NTL, a Train Operating Company (TOC) that operates passenger rail services across the North of England, is undertaking this procurement process to appoint one or more suppliers to manufacture and supply rolling stock (with associated equipment and including where necessary supporting infrastructure) for operation across the entire NTL Network, and to provide technical support and spares supply services in connection with the rolling stock across multiple phases and lots within budget and to meet the overall objectives and priorities of NTL pursuant to one or more framework agreements.
It is anticipated throughout the life of the framework agreements (i.e. across all lots) that NTL may procure, across multiple call-offs, from such lots up to 450 units.
It seems like Northern are looking to replace their old fleet (probably their Sprinters) - ironically none of them being diesel (instead opting for battery electric units). What do you all think about this?
PS - This was the only piece of evidence I could find - apologies for any misinformation!
