    Brief

    Network Rail is seeking a supplier to develop and deliver the National Speed Database (SDB) as part of its Speed Management Programme. The SDB will serve as the authoritative source for speed restriction information across the rail industry, providing real-time data on Permanent, Blanket, Emergency, and Temporary Speed Restrictions to railway undertakings and their onboard systems. The database will enable train drivers to receive real-time, in-cab speed information, reducing the risk of overspeed incidents and improving safety and operational efficiency. The SDB will broadcast speed restriction information through a nationally standardised interface to ensure interoperability with Railway Undertakings' chosen Speed Display Systems and future ETCS deployments. This procurement opportunity invites market insight to assess supplier capability and inform Network Rail's procurement strategy, requirements development, and tender approach. The estimated contract value will be confirmed when the formal tender process begins.
