Network Rail are seeking to identify a solution that provides absolute positional accuracy and a positioning service for data that is collected from Ultrasonic Testing Units collected from a train borne measurement system.

The purpose of this PIN is to:

a) Engage with suppliers to generate and register interest.

b) Provide clarity on the requirement and indicative procurement timelines.

c) Identify the existing solutions available in the market and solutions that are likely to be ready within 6-12 months of this notice.
