Aston is beginning the pre-market engagement process in relation to various mechanical requirements. These will either be packaged within an all inclusive contract, or split into several contracts.
Aston is inviting responses to a formal Request For Information ('RFI') to obtain information from the market. This will help Aston to better understand the structure and capability of the market, as well as providing key insights that can be used to identify the most suitable route to market and ensure Aston's specification is fit for purpose.
Please contact [email protected] to request a copy of this RFI. The response date for the RFI is 10th July 2025.
