Description

South Western Railway Limited (SWRL) is planning to install at seat power for customers within standard and first-class accommodation within its Class 158 and 159 fleet as part of the wider ongoing project to refurbish this fleet. The purpose of this modification is to make at seat power within first class more accessible along with the addition of USB-C charging and to introduce USB-C charging facilities for the first time to standard class and a minimum of one USB-C outlet for the non-driving side of each cab. This is a Supply of Goods requirement. The headline requirements are as follows: A minimum of one USB-C outlet per seat for both standard and first class; A minimum of one USB-C outlet for the non-driving side of each cab; The wheelchair bays shall have both USB-C and 230V outlets. No minimum order quantity for spares. As a business we have decided to bring the Works element of installation in house but still require the goods to be procured.
