Midland Metro Limited (MML) is seeking to engage with Suppliers capable of delivering a corrugation survey across its 23 km (46km route length) light rail network. The purpose of the survey is to measure corrugation wavelengths and depths along the rail head with a high degree of accuracy to inform ongoing maintenance and repair strategies.
Through conducting this Market Engagement, MML is seeking to gain a greater understanding of what the market can offer and deliver in line with the key requirements expected by MML. MML plan to use the information to support the development of the scope of requirements and the procurement strategy.

Please also note that this is not a formal PQQ or expression of interest in a tender exercise. This Pre-Market Engagement is to be used purely by WMCA/MML to provide potential delivery partners with more information about MMLs requirement and for suppliers to submit responses to our questionnaire.
Your responses to this questionnaire will NOT be scored or evaluated in any way and will be used purely for information purposes by WMCA/MML.
WMCA/MML will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party participating in this exercise.
