Notice Title

Unattended Measurement System Development and Asset Condition Monitoring Strategy

Notice Description

Overview of Requirement: HS2 Ltd requires the support of a Supplier to develop and define the initial rolling stock requirements with regards to: * Unattended Measurement System Development; and * Asset Condition Monitoring Strategy. Given the differing focus and purpose of the above requirements, their development will comprise two separate work packages, however HS2 Ltd will require one Supplier to solely undertake both of these tasks. As part of the work the Supplier will be required to define requirements for Hs2 Ltd.'s forthcoming Rolling Stock and RailwaySystems procurement exercises by providing a clear guidance to the: * HS2 Rolling Stock team of the infrastructure inspection, measurement and monitoring equipment that needs to be fitted to the commercial service rolling stock; and * HS2 Railway Systems Procurement team of the Asset Condition Monitoring equipment required to provide performance and condition information, therefore enabling the Asset Management end state requirements to be included within the Rail System procurement packaging.
