The engagement day will be held at their office in London on 30 May 2019, from 10:00 to 12:00, with an engagement end date set for the same day at 23:59. This procurement is part of an initiative to develop composite metrics for monitoring and prioritising the health aspects of operations within the rail industry, to align with existing safety performance metrics. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in health and safety consultancy, research and development, and data management services. Suppliers who are equipped to contribute innovative solutions for health data assessment, risk management, and performance metrics development would be particularly well-suited for this tender. By participating in the engagement day, these businesses can shape the upcoming tender to better fit market expectations and demonstrate their capabilities directly to the contracting authority. ## Notice For more than 30 years the rail industry has collectively assessed and co-operated in the management of the safety aspects of its operations and has actively measured and considered how to reduce the level of safety risk that has arisen in connection with rail operations. The industry management of health risk is less well-established than its management of safety risk, and it is seeking to strengthen its approach, by making improvements in the way it collectively assesses and co-operates in the management of the health aspects of its operations, and in exploring what sort of health and wellbeing data it should collect and the metrics it should define to achieve this. A recent RSSB R&D project (T1094) focussed on identifying and agreeing the health data that the industry is currently focussed on collecting. However, while health & wellbeing data requirements have been identified in the above work, there has not yet been any real focus on how to bring together that data so that the different causes of ill health can be compared, and monitoring and prioritisation be carried out for health conditions. It follows from this, that there is not yet any way of comparing the risks from safety with the risks from health, so that monitoring and prioritisation can take place across the safety, health and wellbeing spectrum. This is a key focus for the current project. Therefore RSSB seeks to: - Develop a means of bringing together health and wellbeing data collected by the industry, into a set of composite metrics that can be used effectively to monitor health and wellbeing performance, and prioritise investment decisions. - Explore how best to use health and wellbeing composite metrics in conjunction with existing (or new) safety performance metrics, to enable an effective way of monitoring and prioritising investment decisions across the safety, health and wellbeing spectrum. - Ensure and demonstrate that the health & wellbeing risk is being collaboratively managed so far as is reasonably practicable. Please see attached draft specification for full details. We would like to invite suppliers to an engagement day at RSSB's office on 30/05/19 10:00-12:00 to discuss and provide input into the scope of the project, identify risks and ensure that the resulting tender is both attractive to the market and allows suppliers to put forward innovative ideas. Suppliers should come prepared to discuss the following: * What points, if any, need clarification on the specification? * What risks can you foresee for delivering this project? * What are the main technical challenges you foresee in delivering the work? * What resource requirements do you estimate is required to deliver the work? * What timescale do you estimate is required to deliver the work? * What are the data requirements for delivering the work? * What other industry input do you require for delivering the work?
