## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd is conducting an early market engagement process titled "Environmental Services - Early Engagement Without a Call for Competition." This procurement initiative falls under the environmental services industry category, focusing on various needs such as decontamination, fly-tipping removal, and pest control, among others. Located in England, this process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 9th August 2019. Interested suppliers are invited to participate by completing a questionnaire to showcase their capabilities and insights by the specified deadline.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in environmental services, including waste management, pest control, and pollution recovery. Companies capable of providing innovative solutions and quick response times for incident-based services across the UK regions—such as the North East, North West, and Scotland—will find themselves well-positioned to engage with Network Rail. The soft market engagement approach allows potential suppliers to contribute valuable input that may shape future procurement decisions, making this an excellent opportunity for growth and collaboration in the sector.

## Notice

Network Rail - Environmental Services. Early engagement notice WITHOUT a Call for Competition.

Network Rail is looking to understand from suppliers within the market their capacity to fulfil our requirements via the completion of a soft market engagement questionnaire. Completion of the questionnaire will support Network Rail in understanding the ability of the market to deliver: - all, or a combination of the aforementioned services - the prevalence of suppliers within the market - ability for the market to respond to an incident/call-out within an appropriate length of time - potential new and innovative solutions which could enhance our service delivery - optimum duration of contracts - identifying any barriers which may be preventing organisations from participating in a Network Rail tendering exercise As stated, this early engagement is not a Call for Competition, nor an appeal for an Expression of Interest. At time of writing, the purpose of this notice and questionnaire is solely to undertake early market engagement and does not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by Network Rail to undertake any formal procurement exercise. Interested parties are invited to request a copy of the questionnaire by emailing FrontlineServicesCandP@networkrail.co.uk referencing 'Environmental Services Market Engagement'.
