Notably, interested suppliers should be aware that the future notice date for potential further engagement is set for 10 May 2021. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in innovative vending solutions, particularly those offering advanced functionalities beyond traditional products. Companies capable of showcasing modern, versatile SSV machines, as well as those with capabilities to maximise revenue sharing or explore sponsorship avenues, will be well-positioned to respond. As Network Rail prepares for a potential tender, suppliers in the vending, technology, and service sectors should consider this engagement as a strategic avenue to expand their operations within the railway infrastructure domain. ## Notice This PIN is for pre-market engagement and has been issued by Network Rail Retail Property Team in advance of finalising a proposal to procure Self-Service Vending Machine (SSV) services for use at Network Rail Managed Stations on behalf of Network Rail's Retail Property team.
