Sydney Trains Major Works Master Service Agreement – Major Periodic Review – Signalling Services

⁠⁠⁠Sydney Trains' vision is to keep Sydney moving by delivering safe, customer-focused, reliable and clean rail services. Sydney Trains contribute to the success of transport in NSW by running efficient rail services which exceed our customers’ expectations, support growth and contribute to the broader community and the economy.

Sydney Trains is responsible for the safe delivery of track, civil, signalling, overhead wiring, substation, cabling, and communication and facilities projects to maintain its assets. The projects include turnout renewals, track reconstruction, ballast cleaning, bridge renewal and major maintenance, overhead wiring renewal, resignalling and control system upgrades, specialised civil infrastructure maintenance, communications and technology asset maintenance, including delivery of condition monitoring tools.

In order to improve the way it procures track, civil, geotechnical, signalling and electrical maintenance services, Sydney Trains established a Master Services Agreement (MSA) in August 2015 with a number of Contractors on common terms and conditions for the procurement of the following categories of work:
* track work projects: ballast cleaning, re-sleepering, track reconditioning, transoms, re-railing & turnout refurbishments, resurfacing maintenance and resurfacing construction;
