Network Rail Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Supply of Goods

Network Rail will be launching a DPS for Goods within the Technology Supplier Qualification System (SQS). The DPS for Goods will initially contain two categories. The DPS will provide a competitive environment in which Network Rail can access suppliers and technologies in the supply of the following categories:

Category 1: Silt & Flood Detection Devices (SaFD)

Category 2: Relative Track Surveying Devices (Maintenance).

Network Rail may add or remove categories to the DPS at any time during its validity. Suppliers will be notified of added or removed categories via a Notice. Providers may apply to join the DPS at any time over the duration of the DPS.

Silt Level and Flood Detection Devices - Automated technological solutions for remotely monitoring sediment build up and flood occurrences.

Relative Track Surveying Device (Maintenance) - Manually propelled rail mounted survey device for track maintenance purposes, to record horizontal versine’s, vertical levels, track gauge, cross-level, distance travelled, structure profiles, X & Y dimensions and Overhead Line Equipment wire heights.
