TRIM seeks private operators for 20 rail sidings
State-owned Transnet Rail Infrastructure Manager (TRIM) is seeking private operators for 20 rail sidings across the South African rail network as part of ongoing reforms aimed at introducing private sector participation.
The sidings on offer include 13 sidings in TRIM’s eastern region, comprising Pyramid South, Ngagane, Hlobane, Panbult, Rietkuil, Carolina, Klaserie, Mica, Pienaarsrivier, Bela Bela, Marikana (A), Marikana (B), and Marikana (C); six in its western region, including Bellville Autosort, Lutzville Station, Putsonderwater, Worcester, Upington, and Orchard; and Krugersdorp in its central region.
Request for proposal (RFP) documents released by TRIM indicate that successful bidders will be expected to lease, invest, develop, operate and maintain the sidings for a period of ten years.
The RFPs also indicate that site visits will be held over the coming weeks ahead of the bid submission date of November 30.
CEO Moshe Motlohi says that by partnering with the private sector, TRIM aims to improve service delivery and unlock sustainable economic value across South Africa's rail network.
“This programme reflects TRIM's commitment to transparent, market-driven access to strategic rail assets,” he adds.
