Wales & Western Region [Network Rail Infrastructure Ltd](https://tendernation.io/buyers/network-rail-infrastructure-ltd) Estimated value £300,000 Published 24 Jul 2023 Deadline Rolling deadline ## Who can bid - Open procedure Anyone can submit a full tender; there is no shortlisting stage. ## About this tender The purpose of this document is to set out the system and user requirements for a Instrumented Rail Clamp. Rail clamps have been widely used in the UK rail network to join unwelded sections of rail for many decades. The purpose of the rail clamp is to temporarily provide a robust joint between two sections of rail, until it is possible to weld the rail sections together. Whilst a rail clamp is in place, it is required to be monitored at 24-hour intervals to ensure the integrity and safety of the joint. The inspection specifically requires assurance that the joint deflection, rail to rail gap and clamping force has not exceeded the limits set in Network Rail track standards. The aim of this specification is to deliver a system that meets all standards relating to rail clamps and track mounted components which also can be maintenance free. It must deliver a safe and secure clamped rail joint. If applicable the solution can be integrated into an already product approved clamp. It must be able to reliably transmit data that can be used to aid the application of understanding the condition of the joint, to remove the requirement of physical/manual inspection of the temporary clamp. ## CPV classification Railway-track construction materials and supplies Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-03e49f-2023-07-24T11:24:39+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-03e49f-2023-07-24T11:24:39+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
