II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The scope of the supplies to be provided by the Tenderer awarded the Contracts included (but was not be limited to) the following:
1. under a Manufacture and Supply Agreement (MSA), for the Train Manufacturer and Maintainer (TMM) to design, build, test and commission a minimum of 54 new high speed trains, to be delivered in advance of the expected commencement of HS2 Phase One passenger services in late 2029;
2. under a Train Services Agreement (TSA), for the TMM to provide train maintenance, servicing and refurbishment services (as required), and depot facilities management services, for a minimum term of circa 12 years from acceptance of each train;
3. following termination or expiry of the TSA, to continue to provide the necessary technical support and spares to the successor maintainer and repairer of the fleet if required by the HS2 Train Operator under a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement ('TSSSA').
The new fleet will need to be capable of operating on new and existing railway routes within the gauge and other constraints of those networks. The trains will need to operate on existing UK infrastructure (initially between Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow on the West Coast Main Line) and on the UK's new HS2 Network with performance characteristics which deliver the HS2 Programme requirements for capacity and connectivity.
The selection of the TMM was on the basis of most economically advantageous tender.
