EMR will review all feedback received and use this information to refine the scope, service requirements, commercial structure, and evaluation methodology for the future procurement. Participation in this PME does not guarantee inclusion in the subsequent procurement process and is not a precondition for bidding. Feedback from the PME will be analysed and used to inform the final ITT documentation. Once finalised, the 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=2288&Culture=en-GB",
