Network Rail plans to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the provision of Data Loggers, Ancillary Equipment, and Associated Services (DLAE&AS). This agreement covers the supply of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) data logging hardware, ancillary equipment necessary for the installation and operation of data loggers, and relevant services.
Suppliers will be expected to:
• Supply data logging hardware and ancillary equipment that meets Network Rail's product specification, including:

• Provide adaptable delivery options and comprehensive warranty solutions.
• Collaborate with Network Rail and other suppliers, where required, to proactively drive ongoing efficiency, performance, product improvements, and innovation, in alignment with Network Rail’s future ambitions. This includes, but is not limited to, mitigating technology lock-in and enabling the integration and standardisation of best-in-class solutions through change control, where appropriate.
