Tender description

Given the critical nature of these journeys, any disruption in the provision of taxi transport has the potential to directly impact operational performance, train service delivery, and customer experience.

About the buyer
WM Trains Limited ran the West Midlands rail franchise from December 2017 until 1 February 2026. The franchise covered the West Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway brands. Abellio held 70% of the owning consortium, with JR East and Mitsui & Co holding 15% each. Passenger services moved into public ownership under a Department for Transport operator on 1 February 2026. Bidders submitted tenders and requests to participate electronically through that platform.
Over the past 5 years, most of WM Trains Limited's contract awards have been in transport services, transport equipment and security and defence equipment.
