In plain English
Network Rail, the public body that runs Britain's railway infrastructure, is buying aerial services to inspect its assets and carry out surveys from the air. The total estimated value is £34.4 million, split into three regional lots: Scotland, England and Wales, and a national lot covering both.
What the buyer wants
• Provide aerial services to inspect Network Rail infrastructure assets. • Carry out aerial surveys of Network Rail infrastructure in the area of each lot you bid for: Scotland (Lot 1), England and Wales (Lot 2), or all of these areas (Lot 3). • Deliver the services across the specified lot areas, which include Scotland, England (Northwest & Central, Eastern and High Speed 1) and Wales.
Lots
- Lot 1 Scotland
- Lot 2 England & Wales
- Lot 3 National
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific requirements, but the £34.4 million estimated value and the multi-region lots covering large areas of Network Rail's network suggest the contract is designed for suppliers with substantial capacity and experience, which would likely rule out most small businesses.
