## Description
The East West Railway Company (EWR Co.) is responsible for the delivery of East West Rail (EWR), a rail project providing infrastructure to enable services to link Oxford to Cambridge.
The scale of the EWR project and the complexity of developing new line and structures (stations & depots) with existing track means it is critical to ensure we have the best suppliers on board. To achieve this we recognise the importance of building the right commercial model to attract strong competition and incentivise collaborative working across the supply chain.
This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) Notice is to inform the market that EWR Co. intends to commence market engagement to support the development of our Commercial Strategy for the delivery of EWR. The EWR requirements will include professional services (client-side support services), enabling works, main works civil engineering, stations, railway systems, rolling stock and depots.
The market engagement will commence with an initial virtual briefing session setting out EWR Co’s proposed Commercial Strategy on the 14th May 2025 at 12:30 – 13:30pm. This will be followed by a Market Sounding Briefing and Questionnaire inviting potential suppliers to provide their feedback on our proposed approach.
