Market Engagement - Network Rail Eastern Region CP7 Renewals & Minor Enhancements (Capital Delivery)

Following on from the Control Period 7 (CP7) Market Sounding event on the 1st of July 2021, we would like to conduct a further market engagement event to provide an update and obtain market feedback on the proposed procurement strategy for the CP7 Renewals and Minor Enhancements portfolio (Capital Delivery) in Network Rail’s Eastern Region. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. The purpose of this event is for Network Rail Eastern Region to provide you with additional information about its CP7 objectives and to understand what you require from Network Rail Eastern Region in order for works, services or supplies to be delivered in the most efficient manner. There is no guarantee that any information acquired by Network Rail in this event will play any part whatsoever in any decision by Network Rail on whether or not to procure any particular works, services or supplies. However, the better Network Rail's knowledge of how best to deliver the works, services or supplies, the better Network Rail's decisions on whether, and if so what, to procure will be.
