## Summary

The Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd has completed a contract award notice titled "Axle Bearing Monitoring System Trial" for train monitoring services. The trial aimed to test the effectiveness of axle bearing monitoring equipment for UK trains. The procurement process was initiated via tender, with 3 suppliers selected as winners. The buying organisation, located in London, UK, conducted an open procedure for this service procurement.

This tender for the Axle Bearing Monitoring System Trial presents growth opportunities for businesses in the railway services industry and related sectors. Companies offering radio, communication, railway equipment, or R&D services would find this tender suitable for competition. The successful completion of this trial could lead to product approvals, benefiting businesses focused on railway safety and technology innovation.

## Notice

The scope of this contract is to carry out a trial of the Axle Bearing monitoring equipment with 3 suppliers to monitor all axle bearings passing over the site of the installed equipment. The purpose of the trial is to determine the effectiveness of the supplier's technology in remote condition monitoring of axle bearings on UK trains and to grant product approval for the successful products following the trial. This project supports putting passengers first by aiding in the safe and reliable operation of the railway as the failure of an axle bearing can result in severe damage and the wheel becoming unloaded, potentially leading to vehicle derailment.
