Brief

DRS is seeking suppliers to provide Class 66 Traction Motors under a UTEX (Unit Train Exchange) service exchange model. This is a commercial procurement that operates independently of UK procurement legislation, though DRS commits to conducting a fair and competitive process aligned with key principles of the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers should note that this solicitation is published voluntarily and does not create legal obligations under UK procurement law. Interested parties should be prepared to provide traction motors suitable for Class 66 locomotives through a service exchange arrangement, which typically involves exchanging or maintaining equipment to support operational requirements.
