T-69 Tram e-Auction Opportunity

Note: This is NOT a tender exercise it is an e-Auction for the sale of existing tram fleet: The West Midlands Combined Authority/Transport for West Midlands (WMCA) is delighted to announce an exciting one-time opportunity to own not only a piece of transport history, but also a fleet of 15 type T-69 light rail vehicles. Originally purchased from Italian manufacturer Ansaldo Trasporti and in operation between 1998-2014, the former standard bearers of the Line One route between Wolverhampton and Birmingham city centres are currently in storage at Long Marston Airfield.

The e-Auction will take place on 29th January 2018 at 10am and will be hosted by BravoSolution. The trams are currently owned by a subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS).

Each sale will be subject to satisfactory completion of any "know your customer" requirements which RBS may specify. Condition Report: Full accounts and descriptions of the condition of the vehicles are available and can be obtained from Chris Robinson, Metro Procurement Lead Officer, at chris.robinson@wmca.org.uk Inspection Visits: Visits to the storage facility are by appointment only and can be arranged by contacting Chris Robinson at chris.robinson@wmca.org.uk The trams will be 'sold as seen' and neither the WMCA, RBS nor any other party makes any condition, warranty, representation or other term in respect of the description, state, fitness, quality, suitability for purpose, specification or performance of the trams.
