    Brief

    The Tees Valley Combined Authority is seeking qualified suppliers to conduct a rail passenger survey across the Tees Valley region. This Pre-Tender Market Engagement (PTME) exercise invites market feedback to help shape a future procurement for surveying rail passengers to understand their concerns, identify service improvements, and gather evidence for strategic rail planning. The Authority welcomes supplier input on survey methodologies, deliverables, timescales, estimated costs, and contractual terms. This engagement provides an opportunity to discuss project scope, validate the approach, address potential risks, and incorporate best practices before formal procurement. Interested suppliers are encouraged to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and share recommendations based on their expertise. Further details and submission instructions are available on the eSourcing portal.
