Published justification

The contract is being awarded through and in compliance with the CCS Framework RM6187 (Lot 8) (the “CCS Framework”). As a result, there is no legal requirement to advertise the contract, as the framework has already been advertised. The contract has been awarded directly to Ove Arup & Partners Ltd under the CCS Framework, which permits a direct award.

Ove Arup & Partners Ltd had previously provided services to Transport Scotland and ScotRail for the initial services in connection with the suburban fleet procurement exercise. Given their extensive knowledge and experience in supporting rolling stock procurements in the UK, their particular experience and understanding of the Scottish Rail Network and the regulatory framework within which ScotRail operates, and their familiarity with this project as a result of their initial work, it is considered that the direct award under the CCS Framework is permissible in these circumstances.

Publisher note: The value of the contract is an estimated value which may be subject to variation. Ultimately the overall value of the contract may be higher. (SC Ref:771816)
