To achieve this, we are committed to engaging early and often with the market to inform our development and procurement approach. We are also evolving our procurement processes and documents to make it easier to work with us and be more transparent in our projects coming to market. This page outlines our ongoing work to review, refine and reform our procurement processes that delivers the best value for our project partners and the people of NSW.
We regularly meet with industry bodies to discuss issues impacting our sector, including ongoing joint workshops with the Australian Constructors Association and Consult Australia to co-create solutions.
We consulted with industry on some new thinking around procurement models as part of our commitment to explore new ways to procure and deliver great projects for the people of NSW.
Around 500 industry partners joined us in Western Sydney to hear an update on our four-year $72.3 billion transport infrastructure capital plan and to connect directly with our project teams.
We are working with the NSW Modern Manufacturing Commissioner, Industry Capability Network, and local industry organisations across NSW to map our local manufacturing capability across key rail subsystems, components, and activities.
In partnership with the Office of National Rail Industry Coordination, we held the Future of Rail Manufacturing workshop in July, which brought together around 100 industry, Federal Government, State Government and union leaders. Watch the summary video below to hear industry's feedback on the day.
