This is not an Expression of Interest. Railcar Builders are invited to engage with the PTA by addressing specific questions formally and at an interactive meeting in Perth WA.

The Government of Western Australia is embarking on a new program of urban rail network expansion. Additional rolling stock is required for this expansion. It is intended that this new rolling stock is as far as is practicable manufactured in Western Australia and maximises the use of the Local WA supply chain.

This 15 year strategy will include:
* New EMU passenger railcars for the METRONET expansion
* Renewal of the passenger railcars on the existing train lines
* Replacement DMU passenger railcars for the Australind train
* Maintenance of the fleet

Railcar Builders are invited to engage with the PTA by addressing specific questions formally and at an interactive meeting in Perth WA. The purpose of this engagement is to identify opportunities and improve outcomes for the state of Western Australia.

It is not intended that this industry engagement process will incorporate a railcar supplier selection assessment. A formal procurement process in accordance with WA Government Procurement policy will follow.
