This procurement falls under the research and development services industry category and will take place in London (EC2M 2RB). Currently in the Tender stage, the process is open and has a deadline for submission set for 23rd March 2018. The contract period is anticipated to start on 16th April 2018 and conclude by 28th September 2018. The total value of the contract is estimated at £80,000, with a minimum value of £70,000, and it is being procured through an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in research and development, particularly those with expertise in railway safety systems and related consultancy services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate due to the suitability classification. Companies experienced in risk analysis, technical evaluations of operational systems, and those with a background in railway safety can leverage this project to expand their service offerings and enhance their market presence in the transport sector. ## Notice The objectives of this project are to answer the following questions 1. What are the implications on safety of DMI speed display units for operations in L2 in an overlay area. This must consider: a) Unfitted trains, fitted trains driven by ETCS authorised drivers in Level 2 and non-ETCS authorised drivers operating in Level NTC b) Migration from overlay to ETCS L2 without signals areas c) Movements across boundaries between overlay and ETCS level 2 without signals areas. 2. Identification of hazards and semi-quantified risk analysis for each DMI presentation. 3. Which scenarios have the highest risk levels for each DMI presentation 4. What is the impact on potential performance of not exploiting the limits of the infrastructure in Level 2 operation because of the need to operate in mph. Ultimately, this project aims to make recommendations that Routes can apply when installing ETCS equipment, as to what presentation is safest and most feasible for their routes. This project will require the following to be carried out: Technical review of previous safety research (Required for deliverable 1) A technical review of the previous research conducted in this area (including previous RSSB research). The aim of this work package is to consolidate the information currently available into one report, consider the major gaps in research and use the information available to start building a risk analysis on DMI presentation in overlay areas during Level 1 and Level 2. - Consider RSSB research projects T1013 and T1091 Workshop based risk analysis (Required for deliverables 2, 3A, 3B, 5 and6) Encompass a workshop-based risk analysis of the two DMI options, considering the scenarios in the objectives, above, This workshop will: - Identify the risks associated with the two stated options on an operational railway in GB; - Carry out semi-quantitative analysis consistent with Network Rail's risk matrix to assess those hazards before and after mitigation is applied; - Identify measures to mitigate these hazards; - Determine both with and without identified mitigations, whether risk from the identified risks are likely to be controlled to an acceptable level; - Deliver the above in compliance with the requirements of legislation including CSM REA; - Make recommendations to the industry based on risk assessment. This risk analysis will be done using a HAZID framework, in compliance with Rail Industry Guidance Note GEGN8646 and consider the following: - An ETCS fitted train will run in and out of overlay areas, encountering both ETCS fitted overlay areas (where the train could utilise either ETCS signalling or conventional signalling (where the train will be controlled with underlying national train control systems (class B) i.e. imperial units). - ETCS fitted trains will require speed information to be inputted in km/h regardless of what the DMI is presenting ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38b3bfe8-090c-46c0-a2b5-5d30a4b848c6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 23 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Apr 2018 - 28 Sep 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £80,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RAIL SAFETY AND STANDARDS BOARD LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2M 2RB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Bunhill | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 16 Mar 2018 at 09:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38b3bfe8-090c-46c0-a2b5-5d30a4b848c6 - 27 Feb 2018 at 09:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38b3bfe8-090c-46c0-a2b5-5d30a4b848c6 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38b3bfe8-090c-46c0-a2b5-5d30a4b848c6 16th March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cef80618-fcda-49a0-b1ec-1dd2ef0de730 Commercial Pricing Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f4b4b431-49e2-4e69-8e74-cef243972c28 RSSB2681 - T1114 - Choosing metric or imperial units for driver display on ETC- Research&Development Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/674f8bdc-3583-4124-8858-b5cf9033d1a9 RSSB2681 - T1114 - Choosing metric or imperial units for driver display on ETCS L1 & L2 overlay areas - I.T.T - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c9e273f4-da9c-4df2-9f0c-e0d5a2acc7aa RSSB2681 - T1114 - Choosing metric or imperial units for driver display on ETCS L1 & L2 overlay areas - Invitation To Tender ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
