(As noted Metrolink trams are high floor and interested parties responding to this first notice should have the appropriate manufacturing capability). Participation in this PME is voluntary, and this exercise is entirely separate from any subsequent procurement activity. Participation or non-participation in this market sounding will not affect the opportunity for suppliers to participate in any subsequent procurement and will not form part of any procurement assessment or selection process. Similarly, this exercise is not a commitment or indication by TfGM of an intended procurement approach to the market.
