    Brief

    This opportunity invites suppliers to conduct a trial of an innovative laser-based cleaning solution for railway tracks. The trial aims to eliminate the need for water-based cleaning methods, reducing environmental impact and operational costs while maintaining track safety and performance. The trial will be conducted in two phases: Phase 1 will involve off-track testing in a controlled environment to validate the technology's effectiveness and safety. Phase 2 will involve live testing on operational UK railway lines at speeds of up to 60mph to demonstrate real-world performance and reliability. The successful supplier will work with the Seasonal team to help future-proof the fleet's maintenance capabilities. Suppliers should have expertise in laser technology, railway operations, and the ability to conduct trials in both controlled and live operational environments.
