This procurement falls under the open procedure and is classified under data analysis services, with a budget ranging from £100,000 to £500,000. The tender period will end on 3rd July 2019, and the contract will commence on 29th July 2019, running until 30th June 2020. The project is situated in London, UK, and involves significant research and consultancy to align the passenger experience with punctuality metrics. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in data analysis, research, and consultancy services, particularly those focusing on transport and regulation practices. Companies experienced in implementing performance metrics, traffic management systems, or regulatory policy development would find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project will not only allow these businesses to contribute to improving railway services but also enhance their expertise within the transport sector, promoting future growth and collaboration opportunities. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 19 June 2019 for the following reason: Please note that this opportunity is open to SME's.(Control Period 6 will bring new rail industry performance metrics into action, to closely align the passenger experience with how performance is measured and reported . Industry performance is currently measured and reported as 'on time' at 5 or 10 minutes within end destination of short and long-distance journeys. Key changes to the metrics will include train punctuality measured to the minute, at every possible recorded station stop on the train's journey . The implications of an 'on time' railway places pressure on delivering the timetable whilst also continuing to minimise overall delays. The new metrics are expected to significantly impact numerous processes and people across industry, including train regulation. RSSB requires a supplier to examine current practice and provide guidance to supporting the wider industry in the transition to 'on time' metrics. This research was scoped with senior industry representatives from these groups to shape the research so that it may address the below key research questions. Given today's constraints, systems and multiple performance metrics: 1.What does good train regulation practice look like when putting customers first? 2.How does capacity utilisation impact train regulation thresholds? 3.How can we help decision-makers make effective changes and updates to regulation policies? 4.How can we help staff apply regulation policies successfully? 5.How can we gather evidence of good train regulation practice to support continuous learning? 6.How would traffic management systems enable more effective train regulation practice?) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8262f189-7538-481a-a8d8-6646ec005fb8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Jul 2019 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 & STANDARDS BOARD LTD | | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71600000 - Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services - 72316000 - Data analysis services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73100000 - Research and experimental development services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services ## Release History - 19 Jun 2019 at 12:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8262f189-7538-481a-a8d8-6646ec005fb8 - 5 Jun 2019 at 15:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8262f189-7538-481a-a8d8-6646ec005fb8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8262f189-7538-481a-a8d8-6646ec005fb8 19th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-T1178---Good-train-regulation-practice-in-an-%E2%80%98on-time%E2%80%99-railway/78V83RD3MC Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
