Notice Title

RSSB2634 - T1138-02 - Connected Train and Customer Communications Development of Rail and Digital Industry Roadmap - Invitation To Discuss I.T.T - Tuesday 15th August 4pm - 5pm

Notice Description

UPDATE - Invitation To Discuss I.T.T - Tuesday 15th August 4pm - 5pm RSSB is inviting all tenderers and suppliers who are interested in this live procurement opportunity to discuss the specification with RSSB on Tuesday 15th August from 4pm to 5pm here at our London Offices. If you are interested in attending please email: Shareditt@rssb.co.uk By Monday 14th August 5pm. The work item proposed is the first step toward developing a long-term roadmap and implementation plan for improved internet connectivity across the railway. The primary objective of this project is the delivery of a limited roadmap with scenario analysis and technology landscape review for current and projected 3-5 years deployment time, supported with the identification of innovative business models and opportunities that stimulate future investments. Specifically, the project output will clearly frame the commercial and technical options available for review and further development, to inform the rail and digital industries, and the Government, of potential investment opportunities to improve internet connectivity across the rail network. Subsequently, the project will enable further developments to be explored, rather than provide specific solutions for implementing improved internet connectivity. Key strands of the roadmap include: 1. Capture GB connected train requirements, validated through industry workshops led by the consultant and hosted by RSSB . The workshops will involve participants from the rail industry (including TOCs, ROSCOs, RSSB, RDG, NR, DfT) and techUK community (including Universities, Department of Digital Culture Media and Sports, 3rd party wireless communications wholesalers, MNOs, new communication service providers and on-train Wi-Fi providers). The project steering group will support the consultant to identify the key stakeholders for the workshops, and the consultant should also bring their own contacts/suggestions to work with the project steering group and finalise the list of participants. The supplier should explain how they intend to run the workshops, which will be agreed by the project steering group. Specifically, the workshops should aim to generate new learning and make best use of stakeholder input through discussions that explore: - Usage scenarios - including ones based on Shift2Rail/FRMCS rail use case requirement specifications and DfT reports. - Demands and barriers - many logistical, commercial, regulatory and business demands are broadly understood within the industry. The consultant will first review and analyse the demands and barriers to then validate/supplement these concepts in the workshops. 2. Review current and immediately emerging technology (including cost trends analysis) suitable for current and projected 3-5 years deployment of possible options to improve internet connectivity on GB rail routes. This can be achieved by considering:
