    Brief

    Nexus (Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive) is seeking a maintenance contractor for their Plasser 08-275 Ballast Tamper (MA60), an eight-axle diesel hydraulic rail maintenance machine purchased in 2014. This is a 3-year fixed-cost contract covering all planned maintenance, corrective repairs, emergency services, and technical support, with an optional 12-month extension. The successful contractor will perform all scheduled maintenance activities according to the Vehicle Maintenance Manual NX 08-275-MA60, excluding daily/weekly checks and derogated activities. Key responsibilities include responding to critical 'machine stopped' failures within 24 hours, providing out-of-hours fitter coverage for forecastable faults during night shifts, and conducting special inspections or condition reports as requested. The contract requires a reliable, experienced contractor capable of managing a heavily-used industrial machine with over 706,000 tamping cycles and nearly 9,000 working engine hours.
