The PME seeks to: * Understand supplier capability and technical competence, including experience with rail-specific HVAC systems, overhaul programmes, fault diagnostics, and lifecycle asset management * Assess supplier capacity and resilience, including the ability to support planned and reactive maintenance, manage obsolescence, and respond to operational failures within required timescales * Explore supply chain resilience, including spare parts availability, OEM approvals, accreditation, and contingency arrangements * Identify opportunities for SME participation, either as principal suppliers, framework participants, or specialist subcontractors * Understand available monitoring and condition-based maintenance solutions, including remote diagnostics, performance reporting, and energy-efficiency monitoring * Explore sustainability and decarbonisation opportunities, including energy-efficient HVAC solutions, refrigerant management, environmental compliance, waste reduction, and alignment with railway sustainability objectives * Gather insight into commercial and pricing models, including fixed-price maintenance, overhaul schedules, call-off arrangements, whole-life costing approaches, and indexation mechanisms Suppliers will be invited to review PME documentation and submit responses to a series of structured questions. EMR will review all feedback received and use the information gathered to refine the service specification, commercial model, and evaluation methodology for the future procurement. Participation in this PME does not guarantee involvement in the subsequent procurement and is not a mandatory requirement for bidding. Feedback gathered during the PME will be analysed and used to inform the final ITT documentation. Once finalised, the procurement opportunity will be formally advertised and competed via Find a Tender, in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and applicable transparency requirements. Expressions of Interest in the PME will be managed through EMR's WAX procurement portal. Interested parties will need to be registered on WAX to access the PME documentation and submit their responses. https://eastmidlandsrailway.medius-s2c.com/S2C/DisplayModules/TradeModules/Negotiations/Opportunities/ViewOpportunityEvent.aspx?EventID=2286&Culture=en-GB",
