Details

The Contracting Authority intends to undertake Early Market Engagement activities in relation to a number of forthcoming rail engineering and rolling stock maintenance opportunities.

The engagement may cover rolling stock maintenance, engineering support services, component overhaul and repair, depot services, asset management, fleet modifications, and associated rail engineering requirements.
