An SME networking event aimed at contractors who are interested in increasing their presence in the rail sector will be hosted by Network Rail and its key suppliers next month.

Scheduled to be held at The Studio, on Glasgow's Hope Street, on Wednesday November 13, the event will explore the available opportunities to be involved in over £1bn of investment in Scotland's Railway between now and 2029.

The event will take place over two separate sessions, during the morning and afternoon.

These will each last three hours, from 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm, with representatives from Network Rail, QTS, Rail Systems Alliance Scotland, VolkerRail, Taziker, Story, AMCO, SPL Powerlines and Siemens available on the day to discuss their work and take questions.

A particular focus on opportunities within Network Rail's frameworks for Building and Civils and Signalling, Power and Communications will also be made during the event.

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."
