Midland Mainline Electrification phase 3 - Market Engagement PIN & invitation to Market engagement briefing

This PIN is linked to PQQ2304 which has been created to enable responses to the briefing day and the MEQ. Please supply your email address if you would like to attend the briefing day which will take place via TEAMS on Monday 12th July 2021 at 15:30 (subject to change). This notice is not a call for competition, but advertisement of a market engagement briefing for the Electrification works (Rail Systems) for Midland Mainline Electrification Phase 3 (MMLe3). The MMLe3 programme will enable the electric operation of the new bi-mode trains on the whole of the MML, from Market Harborough - Sheffield (155km and 113 structures) by delivering works for the Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) extension to Sheffield and Nottingham, route clearance (multi-discipline) to accommodate OLE extension, and increased power supply to support electric passenger services to Sheffield and Nottingham.
The market engagement exercise may or may not progress to subsequent engagement stages including but not limited to consultation questionnaires, workshops and testing of principles. There is no guarantee the market engagement will progress into a procurement event, and participation in this market engagement process will not support or hinder supply chain involvement in any future possible procurement event related to MMLe3.
