As of December 2020, Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S will take over the responsibility for regional rail traffic on the state-owned rail line between Holstebro and Skjern.

Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S is one of the few privately owned railroad operators left in Denmark today. Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S was formed in 2008 as the result of a merger between Lemvigbanen and the former Odderbanen. Today, Odderbanen has again been segregated and is now part of Aarhus Letbane, and as a result of this, Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S today only counts the Lemvigbanen line.

Although Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S was formed in 2008, the Lemvigbanen line goes back a long time to 1879 when the first section of the line was built. Today, Midtjyske Jernbaner A/S acts as infrastructure owner, manager and operator of the Lemvigbanen line. The line is 60 km long and runs from Vemb to Lemvig and from Lemvig to Thyborøn. Midtjyske Jernbaner is owned by Midttrafik, Lemvig Municipality, Holstebro Municipality and a number of small.

Basically, the supply comprises 4 trainsets. The trains must be operational for passenger traffic by 13.12.2020 with final delivery to Midtjyske Jernbaner no later than 31.7.2020.

In addition to this, the tender material comprises an option for purchase of 2 more trainsets. However, this option is not expected to be included in the final tenders or the awarded contract.

Detailed specifications for the stock to be delivered can be found in Appendix A: Technical specifications issued by Midtjyske Jernbaner, whereas the commercial conditions can be found in Appendix B: Procurement contract for the delivery of trains.

Further, the tenderer must submit option prices of passenger counting system, train infotainment system and additional train sets. If any of the above are opted for during the negotiation process, the prices will be included in the total assessment.
