## Summary

Network Rail Infrastructure Limited plans to upgrade the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system across its full fleet of five UTU vehicles. The work is intended to standardise the system across the fleet and improve its resilience. This is a rail-equipment upgrade and associated railway maintenance service. The delivery location is not stated.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Network Rail has set out its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The next notice is expected on 15 October 2026. The planned contract period runs from 13 December 2026 to 10 November 2029. The procurement is arranged as one lot. No estimated value, procurement procedure, evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are set out at this stage.

This work is likely to suit suppliers with experience upgrading ground-penetrating radar or comparable inspection systems for railway vehicles, particularly those able to support a fleet-wide standard and improve system resilience. The requirement covers five vehicles, so suppliers should consider whether they can deliver a consistent upgrade across the fleet and support its integration with the existing equipment. Network Rail indicates that the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses in these groups with relevant rail engineering, diagnostics or equipment-upgrade capability may wish to prepare for the later procurement stage.
