## Description
This market information gathering exercise and associated questionnaire (‘Market Sounding’) issued by Network Rail Eastern Region, seeks to obtain views from across a sample of the supply chain to support development of the procurement strategy for the Control Period 7 (CP7). It is currently proposed to be undertaken in two stages, stage 1 informing and consulting, and stage 2 testing.
For the avoidance of doubt, this questionnaire is not a call for competition. Any comments, indications of interest, participation, or non-participation by any organisation at this stage will not influence the process, selection, or award decision for any future possible procurement, nor will it be taken as a supplier’s committed position. 
Information within this document remains the property of Network Rail and may be used only for the purpose of informing a response to this market sounding exercise. By agreeing to complete this questionnaire, you and your organisation also agree to:
•Refer any communications received from third parties regarding the content or participation in this market sounding exercise to ShruthiMariam.George@networkrail.co.uk.
•Not make any public statement in relation to this market sounding without the prior written approval of Network Rail.
It is anticipated that following responses to this market sounding questionnaire, organisations may be invited to participate in an interactive market sounding workshop (date to be confirmed).
If you would like to complete this questionnaire, please access it through this link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/B8GBT8T.
It would be appreciated if you could provide your responses to this questionnaire no later than 12:00, 18th June 2021.
