The session will outline the proposed scope, commercial principles and example procurement timeline. An on-the-day question session will be provided. Following the event, a structured questionnaire will be issued to participating organisations. Once questionnaires are returned, these will be used to inform the development of any potential procurement strategy. Following completion of the engagement exercise, WMCA will then decide whether to proceed to a competitive tender for the long-term maintenance of the West Midlands Metro fleet and internal approvals sought before issuing any planned procurement notice and documents.
