"BWCS provided invaluable expertise and assistance during our procurement process for an on-train wireless solution for First Scotrail. The technical knowledge, input to the tendering process, summation, questioning and assistance received from BWCS was timely and clear. This ensured that FSR had all the information they required to assist them in their decision making process regarding both solution and provider and provided valuable input and advice in building the business case"
