The core objective is to enhance train speed monitoring and location tracking within the UK. The planned project involves integrating GPS data with infrastructure information to improve incident response times and service safety. A Periodic Indicative Notice (PIN) has been issued for pre-procurement market engagement, with a deadline for information response set for 23rd August 2024. The procurement method involves a request for information (RFI), and any formal competition announcement will cease ongoing discussions. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in GPS technology, software development, and data integration services. Firms with expertise in developing industry-specific software packages, train-monitoring systems, and information technology services are particularly well-suited to compete. By responding to this RFI, companies can showcase their existing solutions, functionalities, and capabilities, along with indicative cost structures. Engaging in this process can provide businesses with visibility and a competitive edge in future procurement opportunities associated with Network Rail’s initiative to improve train safety and performance monitoring systems. ## Notice Network Rail are seeking a platform between Control and Train GPS, acting as a support tool in two key areas through marrying GPS data (where available provided by freight and operators) into Infrastructure information (such as access points, line speeds) overlayed into a map format. The objective is to increase the speed of incident response times and improve the tools Controllers have, to monitor service safety and performance. The system is looking to support addressing the two following main risk areas: 1. Monitoring of train speeds in relation to speed restrictions to help better support emergency/blanket speed restriction implementation in situations such as extreme weather events, 2. Location of trains in relation to key elements of infrastructure to help in examples such as resource deployment to a stranded train as quickly as possible. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Network Rail are seeking a platform between Control and Train GPS, acting as a support tool in two key areas through marrying GPS data (where available provided by freight and operators) into Infrastructure information (such as access points, line speeds) overlayed into a map format.
