### ScotRail Trains Limited (SRT) Market Engagement Notice

SRT is launching a market engagement exercise in relation to its proposed procurement for the replacement of some of its aging Diesel and Electric Multiple Units with a new fleet of Electric Multiple Units (EMUs) and Battery Electric Multiple Units (BEMUs). The proposed procurement is planned for 2025-2027, with initial deliveries expected by late 2031, subject to approval from Transport Scotland and the Scottish Government.

It is anticipated that under a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (MSA) the core order will be for approximately 69 units, potentially comprising around 41 EMUs and 28 BEMUs. There may also be a requirement for additional option orders, although this will be clarified as part of any Contract Notice.

Additionally, SRT is seeking to engage the market regarding the support elements for the proposed replacement fleet through a Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement (TSSSA).

It is hoped that the new proposed replacement fleet will offer enhanced accessibility, increased provisions for cycles and wheelchairs, family friendly interior layouts and a comfortable journey achieved through good ride quality and seating. It is anticipated that BEMUs will be introduced alongside partial electrification of key Scottish routes by Network Rail.

This market engagement exercise is open to all entities capable of supplying rolling stock and technical support and spares. Interested parties must sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and will be provided with a market engagement questionnaire once the signed NDA has been returned.

Follow-up sessions may occur based on responses.
