"description": "- Access to the PQQ & Tender will only be granted after a potential bidder has sent an \"Expression of Interest\" through our Wax Digital Portal and signed an NDA (or can provide proof of an existing & relevant NDA that has been executed between our companies). - Suppliers must submit a PQQ response by the expressed deadline in the PQQ. Applicants will be able to download initial Procurement Documents which include the Outline Scope, detailed specification and Pre-Qualification Questionnaire documents for information about conditions for participation. - Only suppliers shortlisted at the PQQ stage will be asked to submit a full Tender response. - For the avoidance of doubt, FGH shall maintain and comply with a procurement policy that is consistent with all requirements (including all publication or notification requirements that apply from time to time) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (\"Procurement Policy\"). -FGH shall act in accordance with such Procurement Policy in relation to all processes to procure goods and services that are commenced during the Emergency Measures Agreement (\"EMA\") Term or, if extended, the Extended Term or subsequent National Rail Contracts (\"NRC\") - Due to a material value change in our previously published Contract Notice (CN) Ref # 2022/S 000-020192 and the limitation of the Find-a-Tender platform, we need to cancel the existing CN and issue a new one. - This new version of the CN has been published today, but please note that you do not need to submit a new Expression Of Interest (EOI) or sign another NDA (if submitted already), as we will transfer your submission details to the new CN. All other details including the project timetable and link to our EOI in Wax Digital contained within the CN remains the same.",
