Summary of the contracting process

The RSSB is currently conducting a tender process for the project titled "GB-London: T1223-02 Wheelset Coating Systems and Good Practice Guidance," focused on research services in the UK. This procurement, which falls within the industry category of research and development services, aims to enhance understanding of coating systems for rolling stock components to reduce failure risks and improve maintenance planning. The tender period closes on 21st July 2020, with a contract start date anticipated on 1st September 2020, lasting until 26th February 2021. An estimated contract value ranges from £50,000 to £100,000, employing an open procurement method to encourage widespread participation.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in coating technologies and maintenance processes for railway components. SMEs can leverage their innovative capabilities to fulfil the specifications outlined in the tender, contributing to the development of industry best practices. Engaging in this procurement process not only positions vendors to demonstrate their expertise but also opens avenues for future collaborations with RSSB and other stakeholders in the rail industry.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-London: T1223-02 Wheelset Coating Systems and Good Practice Guidance

Notice Description

This project aims to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of coating systems for the rolling stock underframe environment, for both passenger and freight vehicles. This will reduce risks of failure, enable more accurate predictions of component life expectancy and allow a better planning of maintenance cycles. By developing a compendium of coating systems - including guidance on surface preparation, coating application, removal and maintenance - this research aims to enable the development of better-informed processes related to surface protection of wheelset components. Since Alstom's - acting as industry supporter for this project - current overhaul cycle ends in May 2021, there is an opportunity for the guidance developed by this project to be trialled during their next overhaul. RSSB will also evaluate with the relevant stakeholders the opportunity to feed the findings from this project into further work to generate a Guidance Note and to incorporate recommendations in IB/TS 0648 Data for Wheelset Overhaul and Repair and/or CR/PE 0102 Repainting of Rail Vehicles. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
