Next month, we'll host an SME networking event for contractors.
The event will be held at The Studio, on Glasgow’s Hope Street, on Wednesday, November 13 and is open to any company interested in increasing their presence in the rail sector.
Taking place over two separate sessions – in the morning and afternoon – attendees will be able to hear directly from Network Rail and suppliers about opportunities to be involved in over £1bn of investment in Scotland’s Railway between now and 2029.
The event will also have a particular focus on opportunities within Network Rail’s frameworks for Building and Civils and Signalling, Power and Communications.
In addition to Network Rail, QTS Group, Rail Systems Alliance Scotland, VolkerRail Ltd, Taziker, Story Contracting Limited, AmcoGiffen, SPL POWERLINES UK and Siemens Mobility will also be available on the day to discuss their work and take questions.
Stuart Lee, head of procurement for Network Rail Scotland, said: “We are very pleased to be able to work alongside our main contractors to help smaller companies interested in rail find out more about the opportunities coming up in Scotland over the next five years.
“The event will be a great chance to meet key contacts across Scotland’s Railway. We want to help make it easier for new companies to enter the rail sector and we hope to use these sessions to broaden our engagement and better understand what SMEs need from us too.”
Each of the sessions will last three hours, from 0900-1200 and 1300-1600 and includes a Network Rail Introduction, partner presentations, Q&As and breakout supplier sessions.
