These activities include preparing criticality assessments which form part of the package transport safety case submissions to the relevant regulator.

The criticality assessment services are currently split into 5 elements, criticality analysis, preparation of criticality assessments, QA check of criticality assessments, review of criticality assessments and peer review of criticality assessments. We want to canvass the opinion and understanding of the market to ensure that we offer an opportunity that is of interest and one that you feel you could bid for in the near future. This engagement is to test our own assumptions and understanding to determine the supply markets capability and enable us to determine the appropriate sourcing solution.
