Detailed conditions of participation will be set out in the Instructions to Participants document, which will be issued alongside the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and made available via the Network Rail Sourcing Platform (Bravo). Candidates must demonstrate the following technical capabilities to participate in this procurement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 including, but not limited to: - Technical Experience of End‑to‑End Event Management Services - Technical Experience of Event Infrastructure, Technical Production & AV Delivery - Technical Experience of Event Deliverables, Reporting, Evaluation & Stakeholder Management - Technical Experience of Managing Resource capability and capacity

PSQ responses will be checked for completeness and compliance. PSQ responses which are not complete, which are non-compliant and/or are late may be rejected and Network Rail shall not be obliged to continue its evaluation of the PSQ responses of that Participant. Where any Participant does not meet the minimum criteria for any question, section or envelope they will be excluded from the Procurement. For any weighted (0-4) questions in the PQQ, the minimum criteria is a score of 2, therefore a moderated score of 0 or 1 will result in the Participant being excluded from the Procurement. Participants who have successfully achieved a pass for all pass/fail questions and meets or exceeds any minimum score will have their PSQ responses ranked by reference to their total weighted score identified through the assessment process, with the highest scoring PSQ responses (that successfully achieved a pass for all pass/fail questions) being ranked in first place. It is the intention of Network Rail to select a shortlist of six (6) Participants to progress to tender stage.
