This Tender Opportunity is to progress the design of the first route from its current position at the end of Stage 1, through to the end of a Public Inquiry which is Stage 5. It involves work in a number of different disciplines, which broadly cover the Concept Design and Statutory Processes, Operations and Maintenance (O&M), BIM, and Low Volume Manufacturing (LVM) of track and vehicles, and the contract documents will reflect this by being broadly laid out in these streams.
