RB Rail AS has, through the market consultation, openly invited interested suppliers and industry experts to submit feedback pertaining to publicly available draft procurement documentation, with the company seeking suggestions for any and all improvements with the order.
Received input will be used to further refine any requirements and ensure a competitive and transparent procurement process ahead of the official open competition.

The launch of this market consultation is an important step in preparing for the next phase of the Rail Baltica energy subsystem development.
Through the upcoming design expertise procurement, we aim to ensure high-quality, compliant and technically sound solutions that will support the start of Detailed Design.
Independent technical review and close cooperation with industry experts will help us strengthen the reliability and efficiency of the electrification system across Latvia and Lithuania, while ensuring a transparent and competitive procurement process.
