Procurement

The majority of the works will be on the existing railway right-of way and will not require particular environmental studies. However, the station refurbishments and the section of re-alignment will be subject to national and EU environmental regulations and requirements.

Procurement will be undertaken in line with the EIB Guide to Procurement.
