## Summary

The current procurement process involves Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd, which is seeking responses to the Dynamic Track Gauge – Railway Measurement Devices tender. This initiative falls within the research and development services industry and is located in the UK. As of May 3, 2022, the process is in the planning stage, with a deadline for responses set for May 27, 2022. Interested parties are instructed to submit their completed RFI submission template via email to the specified contact.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in railway measurement technology, research and development, or consultancy services related to railway infrastructure. Companies with expertise in innovative measurement solutions or dynamic monitoring systems could particularly benefit, especially those capable of addressing the specified needs for early warning systems in locations where traditional methods fall short. Engaging in this procurement could facilitate growth and collaboration with a key player in the UK railway industry.

## Notice

Network Rail (NR) owns, operates and maintains the UK Rail Infrastructure. Following a derailment at Eastleigh in 2020, NR's Technical Authority has identified a need for a novel measurement device to record and report dynamic track gauge (the distance between two rails).

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The desired end state is a solution or solutions that provide adequate early warning of lateral rail movement under traffic. If successful, the product could be deployed on S&C assets and on plainline, where the existing dynamic gauge monitoring system do not provide coverage (e.g. very low category routes, sidings, station areas). These areas are typically inspected manually using gauge recording trolleys, and visual / tactile inspections to identify failed components.
