As it plans its £23b investment in rail infrastructure projects Network Rail has announced plans to shake up the way it works with its supply chain. This should be good news for contractors and consultants prepared to focus on investing in people, skills and committed to working in long term relationships based on trust and openness.
What’s more, with £4.7b worth of contract awards and frameworks allocated for Wales and the West of England the move by Network Rail has huge potential for contractors and sub-contractors in Wales who are prepared to embrace the values of collaborative working and committed to local communities and economic and environmental sustainability.
