The supplier will provide, operate and maintain the assets, systems and services necessary to capture, process, assure and deliver all required IM data streams to Network Rail’s Enterprise Data Platform, in accordance with relevant Measurement Standards and IM Data Specifications, so that the Authority receives the right data, in full and on time, for use by end customers across Regions and Routes. The solution may combine dedicated IM rolling stock, in service monitoring (on timetabled passenger or freight services) and, where appropriate on a cost–benefit basis, non train borne methods (e.g., Road-Rail Vehicle (RRV)), provided all applicable law, policy and standards are met. The supplier will act as Entity in Charge of Maintenance (ECM), manage obsolescence, ensure approvals for operation on the British network, and deliver services against a jointly maintained Joint Operating Plan. Network Rail will not purchase or own the solution assets. Core scope of services and outputs • Data capture & delivery: Provision of 18 IM data streams to the Authority’s defined structures/formats (open, non proprietary) and timelines, including urgent reporting for safety critical findings. Data assurance (including ISO 8000 aligned data quality regime), secure handling/retention, and transmission (default use of Network Rail telecoms where suitable) are in scope. • Operations: Plan, crew and run IM activities in accordance with the Joint Operating Plan (dedicated paths arranged by Network Rail; in service paths orchestrated by the supplier with the relevant TOC/FOC). The solution must minimise non recording mileage and timetable capacity consumption (e.g., by operating closer to line speed) and be resilient to disruption (e.g., recovery runs to protect maximum measurement intervals). • Maintenance & reliability: Provide serviceable, compliant, calibrated assets/systems designed for reliability, maintainability and ease of operation; hold/maintain necessary licenses/approvals (including ORR requirements) and product acceptance; manage spares, calibration, and certification. • Continuous improvement & innovation: Deliver ongoing efficiency/performance improvements and proactively stimulate market innovation against Network Rail’s future ambitions, using open architectures that mitigate vendor/technology lock in and enable integration of best of breed systems via change control where approved. • Performance management: Meet a KPI regime covering service reliability, on time delivery, completion rate, data compliance, data quality, user satisfaction, continuous improvement, innovation, social value, safety, and environment/sustainability. • Mobilisation & transition: Mobilise new solution per tendered plan; as capabilities ente... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/infrastructure-monitoring-core-service-ocds-h6vhtk-050f71) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 34611000, 34620000, 34621000, 35613000, 50220000, 50225000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £1,500,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 31/03/2027 to 31/03/2035 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F050635-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-08-29T12:43:02.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T12:28:08.568Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-050f71
