That successor operator will be a public sector company, is expected to be a wholly owned subsidiary of DfT OLR Holdings Limited and will ultimately be owned by the Secretary of State for Transport.

The date for transfer of the current operations to the successor operator is not yet confirmed. Where the transfer is completed before contract award under this procurement process, the successor operator may elect (but will not be obliged) to carry on with this procurement process in place of AWC, by taking on the role of contracting entity from the date of completion of the transfer (with this notice and all other procurement documents to be interpreted accordingly).

Where the transfer is not yet completed by the time of contract award, contractual rights may be included in the contractual arrangement to enable transfer to the successor operator.

Bidders should note that this procurement process (if ongoing), or any awarded contract, may be included in a transfer scheme made by the Secretary of State under section 12 of the Railways Act 2005, or the transfer may be effected outside of, or separate from, such a scheme.

Competitive flexible procedure description

This will be a two stage process with a Pre-Qualification Stage (PQQ).

Following the evaluation of the PQQ responses, Avanti West Coast (AWC) will shortlist the Applicants it will invite to negotiate in accordance with the terms of the PQQ.

AWC reserves the right to limit the number of Applicants that are invited to negotiate to four Applicants. Only Applicants that score a "Pass" for all non-qualitatively scored questions in this PQQ will be considered and places will be awarded in order of highest to lowest score. AWC reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to invite more Applicants if there is a tie in the scores between two or more Applicants for the final place.

The PQQ will be followed by an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) with shortlisted bidders being taken forward to a presentation stage (optional) before final evaluation and award.

The final scores for each Tender will be added together, after application of the relevant weightings, to receive a final score for each Tender. The Tenders will then be ranked according to the final scores received to identify the Most Advantageous Tender.
