## Summary

The Rail Safety and Standards Board Limited is currently in the planning stage for the procurement titled "T1214 DECARB: 21st Century DC electrification infill." This project, classified under research services, is focused on supporting the decarbonisation of traction in areas with a 750V DC top contact third rail system. The engagement end date for suppliers interested in this tender is set for 17th June 2020, and the project is based in London, England. Suppliers are invited to participate in a meeting, and arrangements can be made by contacting Tanja Odinsen at the provided email.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in innovative projects aimed at enhancing rail electrification and reducing diesel dependency. Companies with expertise in electrical engineering, transport safety, and environmental technology would be well-suited to compete. By involving suppliers who can contribute to safe and efficient electrification solutions, this project aims to foster growth and sustainability in the rail industry.

## Notice

The project aims to: * Support the decarbonisation of traction in regions with a predominant 750V DC top contact third rail system by identifying the potential to remove diesel services by either enabling extensions to the existing electric network or appropriate alternatives * Identify options to reduce the safety risk of 750V DC top contact third rail systems and explore how this can support the potential for approvals to appropriate extensions to the electric network * Support decision-making on extensions to the 750V DC top contact third rail Network or other alternatives to diesel traction through a decision-making framework to consider mitigation options alongside whole transport system safety, project and economic risks Suppliers wishing to attend the meeting must confirm the name/s and email address of attendee/s to Tanja.Odinsen@rssb.co.uk and we will then issue an invite via Microsoft Teams.
