The procurement of rolling stock is led by train operating companies. Under the previous franchising process this may have formed part of a successful bid. However, under the new operating contract model, operators still lead on the procurement and specification process, but the final business case is subject to a governance review by the Department and HM Treasury. A number of train operators, including Chiltern, Northern, TransPennine and South Eastern, are currently undertaking procurements for new-build fleets, with a particular emphasis on replacing older fleets.<\/p>"}

The Government recognises the importance the rolling stock supply chain has on the both the national and local economies. It is manufacturers themselves that are responsible for exploring opportunities to supply new trains for both export and domestic markets and they must ensure that they exploit the global reach and expertise within UK manufacturing facilities.<\/p>
<\/p>
Since 2010, over 5,300 vehicles ordered by train operators in the UK have been assembled at manufacturing facilities across the country, reflecting in the region of around £10.6bn on orders for rolling stock built in the UK since 2010.<\/p>
This includes the recent £2 billion HS2 rolling stock order for the next generation of Britain\u2019s high-speed trains which will benefit passengers in the North West and be built in Derby, Crewe and County Durham. Whilst over one-third of the UK fleet has been renewed since 2010, the supply chain must continue to consider further opportunities around the remainder of the fleet, such as refurbishment or upgrades, that represent real long-term value to taxpayers.<\/p>
