## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, involves a tender titled "PIN for the Mobile Infrastructure Monitoring Category Strategy". This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on train monitoring services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a total value of £30,000,000. The main objective is to develop a comprehensive category strategy for mobile infrastructure monitoring operations, which will utilise advanced technology to enhance railway asset management across the UK. Further engagement with potential suppliers will occur over the coming months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in technology development, data analytics, and railway services. Companies that specialise in systems integration, sensor technologies, data collection, and maintenance services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can leverage their expertise to contribute to innovative monitoring solutions that support Network Rail's commitment to improving the efficiency and reliability of railway operations.

## Notice

As part of its reliability centred maintenance Network Rail has an extensive Infrastructure Monitoring (IM) programme that provides information to the regional engineering teams on the condition of their assets and trend analysis to identify and classify defects to facilitate corrective and preventative maintenance of the network. In this project we would like to focus on the mobile infrastructure monitoring operations currently undertaken via trainborne collection methods. There are a range of operations and supporting contracts for the current service delivery ranging from the purchase, operation and maintenance of the current IM fleet, technology and the associated systems used for data analytics and reporting. Network Rail wishes to engage with suppliers to work collaboratively, harnessing the intelligence and knowledge of the supply chain to develop a category strategy. Further information can be obtained from: IMcategorystrategy@networkrail.co.uk

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Network Rail specifies, collects and analyses various and comprehensive data about their railway assets condition (20 petabytes of data collected annually, 750,000 miles of track surveyed, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations). The data is used to provide insight and intelligence to the route maintenance teams and asset management teams, who look at the longer terms needs of the asset base. A wide variety of technologies are being used for both, capturing data and processing it. In doing so, it is key that the right data is captured in the most efficient and safe manner. This includes reducing to a minimum the requirement for personnel to access the trackside in order to carry out rail infrastructure monitoring activities. The Mobile Infrastructure Monitoring category strategy a is company-wide programme looking to provide an integrated approach to infrastructure monitoring activity which is currently undertaken by trainborne collection methods. Network Rail is seeking to engage with the supply chain to help shape the future strategy.
