The states of Berlin and Brandenburg have launched a tender to operate two groups of S-Bahn lines in Berlin, which includes the delivery and maintenance of up to 540 four-car trains.

BACKGROUND

The tender includes two separate lots for the supply and maintenance of vehicles for the sub-networks

The tender, which is being carried out as a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, comprises four lots. The contract for the North-South sub-network will have a staggered start between December 13 2027 and September 11 2034, running until December 2042, with around 16 million train-km a year when all services are operating.

The tender includes two separate lots for the supply and maintenance of vehicles for the sub-networks, each with a term of 30 years to incentivise a durable design for the new fleets. The first lot includes an order for 170 four-car “half trains” for the North-South subnetwork, with the second lot including 157 half trains for the Stadtbahn sub-network. The tender includes options for a further 125 and 88 half-trains across the North-South and Stadtbahn networks respectively. The maintenance contracts have options to be extended by up to three years.
