    Brief

    Network Rail is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct a comprehensive aerial survey of the entire UK rail network. The survey will use Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology and RGB (Red, Green, Blue) aerial photography to capture detailed spatial and visual data. The data collection is scheduled for the winter season from November 2027 to March 2028. Upon completion, the captured data must be rapidly processed and analyzed to generate detailed earthwork asset condition assessments that will inform Network Rail's asset management and maintenance strategies. Potential suppliers should have expertise in LiDAR acquisition, aerial imagery processing, and rail infrastructure asset condition evaluation.
