	answer	answer answer text <p>Rolling stock procurement is undertaken through fair and open competition, usually via a train operating company as part of their franchise commitments. Rolling stock contracts are not direct departmental capital spending and we therefore do not expect them to form part of any zero-based capital review. However, the William’s Rail Review will consider rail franchising as part of the root and branch review of the railway to ensure that rail delivers benefits for passengers and taxpayers.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>At the moment, train operating companies are liable for the full pensions risk during their franchise term. In the new East Midlands franchise, the operator is exposed to no additional risks or demands when compared to current franchisees. Indeed, the new franchise includes a risk sharing mechanism with the government, which reduces the risk that the operator will be exposed to. In this, the operator retains the risks that it is able to manage. The operator would be exposed to some upside/downside risk, but this risk would be shared with the Department.</p><p> </p>

These include, for example, incorrect font sizes or submitting bids in the wrong format. This does not constitute a material non-compliance which would affect the compliance of the bid as a whole.</p>
