This initiative aims to revive a railway section between Oxford and Bedford and construct new rail infrastructure connecting Bedford and Cambridge. The pre-procurement market engagement is set to conclude with a questionnaire due by 21:00 on 8th June 2021. EWR Co operates from London, UK and is focused on comprehensive railway construction works, inviting suitably experienced contractors to engage in the planning for this sizeable project. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and engineering sectors, particularly those with expertise in railway systems, civil works, and innovative infrastructure delivery methods. Companies specialising in design, construction, and related services are well-suited to compete, especially those who can navigate live railway environments and collaborate with multiple stakeholders. Additionally, businesses from sectors beyond traditional infrastructure delivery are encouraged to participate in the market engagement, potentially broadening the scope for innovative contributions to the project. ## Notice East West Rail is an ambitious project that involves bringing back into use a section of railway that was closed to passengers in the 1960s, refurbishing existing railway lines between Oxford and Bedford, as well as building brand new railway infrastructure between Bedford and Cambridge. East West Railway Company (EWR Co) was set up as an innovative new way to deliver this project with a customer focus and excellent value-for-money.
