About the bid

Assignment description

DSB is experiencing significant growth in passenger numbers, particularly in the regional and long-distance segments. To address this increased demand before the full integration of new rolling stock from ongoing procurements, DSB foresees a temporary need to supplement its existing fleet of locomotives in commercial operations from approximately December 2026 until the Q2 2030 as outlined in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet). DSB therefore plans to lease electric locomotives to support operations with DSB litra EC and other coach litras over three phases: ramp-up, peak, and ramp-down. In the ramp-up phase, from approximately December 2026 to November 2027, it is expected that 6 locomotives will be needed. During the peak phase, from approximately December 2027 to April 2029, it is expected that 10-12 locomotives will be needed to manage increased operational demand. In the ramp-down phase, from approximately May 2029 to April 2030, it is expected that 6-8 locomotives will be needed as new rolling stock will be phased in and operations with the leased locomotives will scale down. A detailed description of the planned demand is set out in the tender material (Appendix 1 – Price Sheet). To minimize complexity in its daily operations, DSB puts out to tender also the maintenance of said locomotives in the lease as a full-service agreement including corrective and preventive maintenance, provision of all spares etc., where the lessor is responsible for providing locomotives according to required availability. The setup should be as follows: Locomotives: 1. The locomotives should be of type Siemens AC Vectron B18. 2. The locomotives should be capable of performing push-pull operation, from either end of the locomotive coach formation. 3. The locomotives should be capable of performing double traction as push and pull operation, with a locomotive placed at each end of the coaches coupled to the coaches mechanically and electronically via the WTB line. 4. The locomotives should be manufactured within the last five years. 5. It should be possible from the locomotive cab to operate the full functionality, as defined by the ÖBB Fernsteuerkonzept (see sec 1.5), of the locomotive in the other end and the coaches. 6. Any supplementary rail activities necessary to carry out passenger operation should be possible, for instance empty train movement to other locations. 7. The locomotives should be capable of performing operation coexisting with other electric vehicles. Regional Train and Intercity Train Services: 8. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on the electrified lines mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). 9. Lines illustrating Intercity and Regional traffic are listed in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). For information DSB expected routes and journey times are mentioned in the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.03 - Routes and Driving Timings). Compatible with Infrastructure 10. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on all Banedanmark’s electrified infrastructure (excluding S-bane). 11. The locomotives should be able to perform passenger operation on any additional electrical lines added to Banedanmark network (provided that this is TSI compliant or identical to already existing Banedanmark equipment). For lines reference is made to the tender material (Sub-Appendix 03.02 - Operational Profile). Maintenance: 12. Lease should include maintenance as a full service agreement including preventive and corrective maintenance, provision of all spares etc. Documentation should be made available to DSB as applicable, including relevant data from the Maintenance Management System (MSS) 13. It is anticipated that the Lessor will provide the maintenance facility to maintain the locomotives. The maintenance facility should be located in Denmark or in the Malmö region (Sweden). 14. Maintenance shall take place in a maintenance setup which is authorized according to ECM rules 15. The lessor or a subcontractor to the lessor should hold all ECM roles 1-4. 16. It is expected that DSB will deliver the locomotives for maintenance to the handover point at the maintenance facility. In the event the provided maintenance facility is located in the Malmö region, DSB will use a subcontractor of DSB for transporting the locomotives between the handover point at the Maintenance facility and DSB’s operational area in Denmark.
