## Summary

The recent procurement process, titled "Training and Simulation Method Review," was initiated by HS2 Limited, based in Birmingham, England. This contract, valued at £23,068, falls under the category of research and development services, specifically focusing on personnel-training services. The tender period ended on 18 August 2017, and the contract period commenced on 21 August 2017, concluding on 13 October 2017. The contract was awarded on 20 September 2017 to RINA Consulting Ltd, emphasising the time-sensitive nature of the project which aims to enhance training strategies in rolling stock operations.

This opportunity is particularly well-suited for businesses specialising in training consultancy, research and development services, or technology solutions that enhance training delivery. Companies capable of demonstrating innovative approaches to efficiency and cost reduction in training processes will find potential for growth through this contract. As HS2 Ltd progresses with its operational training review, suppliers offering integrated training solutions and technology could benefit significantly, especially those familiar with the rail industry.

## Notice

A contract has been awarded to RINA Consulting Ltd to conduct a review of HS2 Ltd's current and future operational training and simulation strategies with regards to staff involved in its rolling stock control command and signalling activities. As part of the review, research will be required on how training for operational staff is undertaken currently and how the use of technology could be exploited to aid training activities and allow an on-going competence to be maintained with greater efficiency and reduced cost. This requirement is time critical and will feed into HS2 Ltd's rolling stock procurement and the respective contractual framework (in terms of provision of simulators, training content, hardware and software to deliver a blended training and competence environment).
