Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a rail infrastructure contract requiring specialist rail industry knowledge and likely Network Rail accreditation, which most small general builders will not hold; the £641k budget and design-build scope also favours larger contractors with established rail experience and in-house multi-discipline teams.
