Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe contracting entity is procuring the lease of diesel multiple units (DMU) for short and medium distance passenger trains, under a sectoral procurement procedure. The procedure concludes with a framework supply agreement lasting 36 months with one or more economic operators, with a maximum of five operators admitted to the framework. Subsequent contracts depend on a suspensive condition: the Railway Reform Authority's approval for using the leased DMUs in trains under the public service contract approved by Government Decision no. 1453/2022, requested within 90 days of framework signature. If this approval is not obtained, the framework agreement terminates automatically. The buyer context is the public service contract of the National Railway Passenger Transport Company 'CFR Calatori' SA.
