## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, located in London, UK, is planning a procurement process titled "Soft Market Testing - Wheelset Overhaul". This process falls under the services industry category, specifically related to repair, maintenance, and associated services for railways and other equipment (CPV code 50220000). The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 28th November 2024. This procurement effort aims to gather information from the supply chain to understand the capacity to carry out wheelset overhauls, which will inform any potential future tender events and ensure that any subsequent contracts or frameworks reflect market capabilities. Key documentation, including 'project_41539 Wheelset Overhaul Data Collection' and 'project_41539 Wheelset Overhaul PIN', are referenced for this soft market testing.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the repair and maintenance of locomotive wheelsets and rolling stock (CPV codes 50221300 and 50222000). Companies with expertise in these areas can engage in the soft market testing to demonstrate their capabilities and gain a foothold in future procurement processes with Network Rail. This initiative is particularly suitable for businesses equipped to provide comprehensive repair and maintenance services, offering a chance to collaborate with a major national infrastructure provider. The process allows businesses to influence the shaping of future procurement strategies, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and growth opportunities within the railway services sector.

## Notice

To help inform any future procurement event, Network Rail is undertaking Soft Market Testing via this PIN to gather information to understand the capability of the supply chain to carry out wheelset overhauls stated in the document named 'project_41539 Wheelset Overhaul Data Collection' and 'project_41539 Wheelset Overhaul PIN'. Your organisation's assistance will help Network Rail determine how best to undertake any procurement event should one materialise and ensure contracts/frameworks formulated reflect what the supply market can deliver. There is no guarantee that any procurement will take place because of this PIN questionnaire, but your organisation's interest will be noted in the event that one is undertaken.
