Description
Network Rail will be holding a Market Engagement Meeting with potential suppliers in advance of this procurement activity. We will be holding this as an online event on the 11th March at 15:00 GMT. We will provide suppliers with an overview of the procurement activity and our key requirements, challenges, and priorities, followed by a Q&A session. At this stage our strategy and the precise scope is yet to be determined, however we would welcome any views or insights that you may have as well as to gauge whether lease or buying outright is the best option. If you would like to attend this session please can you email George.Fenning@networkrail.co.uk to express your interest. Following expression of interest, a teams link invite will be issued out for this event. We look forward to meeting you soon to discuss this procurement activity further.
