The tender is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for expressions of interest set for 26th March 2018. The estimated contract value stands at £2,800,000, and the delivery addresses include locations across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, and the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the engineering and manufacturing sectors, particularly those specialising in railway technology and measurement tools. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative design capabilities are encouraged to participate, as Network Rail is interested in proven or novel solutions for track geometry measurement. Engaging in this market exercise may position businesses favourably for future procurement opportunities with Network Rail. ## Notice Mobile Track Geometry Measurement Tool Prior Information Notice The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to engage with the supply market to assess the level of interest and considerations in the design, manufacture, commissioning and acceptance/certification of a manually operated, Mobile Track Geometry Measurement Tool. This document outlines the requirements for the supply of a small mobile manually operated tool to be used to measure track geometry. This equipment will be used and kept locally as required. This tool needs to be appropriate to be placed easily and relatively quickly on and off the track with easy to follow/use software (if used). Its primary use is to identify cyclic top sites initially identified by the IMT's. The tool will be required to find the cyclic dips, then calculate the lifts required (non-dynamically) for each dip. In the forthcoming procurement exercise, Network Rail will be looking for proven or innovative design solutions to meet its requirements. In brief, the Mobile Track Geometry Measurement Tool should take account of the following operational parameters: Capable of measuring/detecting as a minimum the following: - Super Elevation (Cant) - Twist - Gauge - Cyclic Top over the following cycles: - 4.5 metres on one and/or both rails - 6 metres on one and/or both rails - 9 metres on one and/or both rails - 13 metres on one and/or both rails - 18 metres on one and/or both rails Interested parties should contact Lynn Robertson (lynn.robertson2@networkrail.co.uk) to request a Soft Market Questionnaire. This is not an invitation to tender, it is solely a market engagement exercise and no direct business will be awarded as a result of participating in this exercise. Further responding to this PIN will not in any way advantage or disadvantage any supplier in a future procurement exercise. Following the market engagement exercise, Network Rail will not be bound to conduct a procurement exercise or to award any contract, and where it commences a tender exercise reserves the right to cancel the tendering process at any time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8cd93670-6970-48f5-9a67-40b287666425 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 26 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,800,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NETWORK RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | North West London | | Postcode | NW1 2DN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Regent's Park | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation ### Codes - 34621000 - Railway maintenance or service vehicles, and railway freight wagons - 34621200 - Railway maintenance or service vehicles ## Release History - 21 Feb 2018 at 11:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8cd93670-6970-48f5-9a67-40b287666425 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8cd93670-6970-48f5-9a67-40b287666425 21st February 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://networkrail.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
