The rail sector is currently seeing a pivotal shift in rail reform and changes in control periods with a number of challenges.
With the emergence of Great British Railways (GBR) a “single directing mind that will run our rail infrastructure and passenger services in the public interest” and the changes in delivery as a result of CP7, CECA are running a members Rail seminar.
On the day you will hear from
- GBR about their purpose, work and strategy
- Network Rail regarding newly established work pipelines and contractor engagement
- NSAR and National Infrastructure Solutions who will discuss training and funding opportunities to aid Social Value commitments
As part of the event, we will also be covering NEC4 contracts in the Rail Sector.

Issues covered will include
