UK: Oxford to Cambridge railway project promoter East West Railway Co is seeking feedback from potential suppliers to support the development of its commercial strategy for the next stage of the programme.
Its requirements will include professional services, enabling works, main civil works, stations, railway systems, rolling stock and depots.
The preliminary market engagement exercise aims to raise awareness of the opportunities, and to engage directly with potential suppliers to gain feedback on the proposed commercial approach, including contracting and packaging strategy.
A virtual briefing session on May 14 will be followed by market sounding.
EWR is seeking to attract strong competition from the best suppliers and to incentivise collaboration to bring fresh thinking to the project and challenge the industry status quo.
