No matter what the size of your organisation our commitment is to make our Region an exciting, innovative and sustainable environment in which we can work and invest together.
There will over this Control Period and beyond be the opportunity for us to work closely together as an industry to transform the operational infrastructure, deliver strongly against the Putting Passenger First Vision and Goals and create a lasting legacy for future generations be they passengers, suppliers, lineside neighbours, employees etc.
By introducing the Competefor site Network Rail and our Tier 1 delivery partners are looking to provide the whole supply chain with :
- greater transparency of procurement pipelines categorised by worktype and value in a more granular level ,
- a robust and streamlined communication channel so all impacted businesses receive updates or critical information at the same time , and

What this means is that we are looking for a supply chain who would like to work with us to :
- Support local communities both from a community, employment and economic perspective
