Description

Open Tender for OLE Fault Bank, 24/7 and Maintenance, which would ensure full compliance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015.

Midland Metro line one runs from Wolverhampton to Birmingham city centre for 23km with 18km of segregated track. This consists of the original section built in 1996-98 of 2km of street running fixed tension from Wolverhampton Saint Georges to Priestfield, with gas tensioned segregated track covering 18km to Saint Pauls, over the past two years the gas tensioners have been replaced with new units and the line tensioned.

The first of three extensions were built in 2015 combining segregated and on street Running from Saint Pauls to Stevenson Street under fixed tension, extended to centenary square in Birmingham with no overhead line and final extension completed to Edgbaston this year with three sections of overhead line installed.

The Contract is for one year with an option to extend to two years. The Contract scope is in three parts, as follows:

Part 1 - Prioritised fault rectification, to be carried out in Year 1

Part 3 - 24/7 365 days per year On-Call Emergency Response for Year 1, with Year 2 as an option.
