    Brief

    Network Rail is seeking to replace its aging Rail Delivery Trains (RDTs) and Long-Welded Rail Trains (LWRTs) and invites market feedback on procurement options. The organisation requires a fleet of 8-11 locomotive-hauled trains capable of both rail delivery and recovery activities, with capacity to carry a minimum of 24 rails per train and remote operation of rail handling equipment to enhance safety and reduce manual work. Network Rail is exploring multiple sourcing strategies including separate procurement of wagons and material handling equipment (MHE), and the development of modular designs using intermodal wagons. Suppliers are encouraged to provide feedback on the feasibility, market appetite, design considerations, and delivery timescales associated with these options to inform the final sourcing requirements.
