The process, titled "Pre-Market Engagement for Cleaning and Debris Removal for Grooved Rail Sections in Urban Tram Network," falls under the industry category of "Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services" (CPV: 90000000). The procurement is focused on services and aims to gather information to support the development of MML's specification and procurement strategy. The informational questionnaire is available online with a deadline for completion set for Friday, 8th November at 12 noon. This process is not a formal tender but an information gathering exercise to help define future requirements and strategies. This pre-market engagement exercise creates valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning and environmental services, particularly those with experience in urban tram networks. It offers an excellent platform for such companies to showcase their capabilities and align with the requirements of a significant public transit authority. Hereto, participation does not guarantee future contracts but can provide insights into future tenders and allow businesses to better position themselves for upcoming procurement opportunities by engaging early with WMCA/MML. This opportunity is ideal for businesses looking to expand their reach in the West Midlands region, especially those capable of meeting the specific requirements of cleaning and debris removal within urban tram systems. ## Notice West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) are looking to complete a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) on behalf of Midland Metro Limited (MML) to gather information to support the development of their Specification and/or Procurement Strategy for the Provision of Cleaning and Debris Removal for Grooved Rail Sections in Urban Tram Network.
