About the buyer

Northern Trains Ltd operates passenger rail services across the North of England as a publicly owned local transport organisation. DfT Operator has run the company since Northern returned to public ownership in March 2020. All active tendering opportunities are advertised through Delta, the company's e-tendering portal. Suppliers of safety-critical goods, works and services register on RISQS to gain audited status. Crown Commercial Service and Achilles Link Up frameworks are also recognised routes into the supply chain. A published pipeline lists upcoming tendering opportunities for engineering, construction and safety-critical projects each year.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Northern Trains Ltd's contract awards have been in construction work, repair and maintenance and architectural and engineering services.
