This initiative falls under the research and development services and related consultancy services category. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with submissions expected to be concluded by 20th January 2017. The project is set to commence on 13th February 2017 and will conclude by 29th December 2017, with a contract value of £75,000, inclusive of a minimum spend of £60,000, located in London with the postal code EC2M 2RB. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety management systems, risk assessment methodologies, or data analytics related to safety incidents. Companies with expertise in developing innovative risk scoring systems and a robust understanding of safety-critical industries would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The focus on enhancing safety through better informed decision-making underlines the potential for substantial business growth in responding to this need. ## Notice In safety critical industries where accidents are rare events, but can have very serious consequences, it is necessary to gather information about incidents that provide insight into threat levels and the performance of risk controls. Such incidents often do not lead to any actual safety loss but had the potential to escalate into something more serious (such as precursors or Close Calls). There are many such incident types for which no event risk scoring system exists, creating challenges in identifying those on which investigation and other effort should be focussed, to monitor changes in risk over time, and undertake objective and consistent comparisons between risk areas. These incidents, which occur much more frequently than accidents, may indicate critical areas for improvement in safety management before accidents occur. Currently the industry has several event risk scoring methods, each designed for a specific event type. For example, the SPAD Risk Ranking method is applied to each SPAD to produce an event risk score. Network Rail uses a methodology to rank incidents in their Signalling Incident Database (SINCS). Network Rail also has a methodology for risk ranking operating incidents, covering a wide variety of different event types. Until recently, comparison between scores produced by different methods was not possible. Network Rail has now developed The Common Risk Scoring Matrix for Safety (CRSM4S), which places pre and post event risk scores on a common scale. However, many incident types have no event scoring system. The aim of this project is to develop a common method for assessing these events, acts, and conditions, and ascribing an associated risk score to each. Applying a common risk ranking methodology to these precursors will enable better informed decisions about safety investment. This methodology needs to be compatible with CRSM4S. The intention of the project is to create a generic methodology that can potentially be applied to any safety-related event. However it is not the intention at this stage (and so outside the scope of the project) to replace existing methodologies for risk-scoring specific types of incidents, such as the SPAD Risk Ranking Tool. The overall objective is to develop the methodology for a common risk scoring system. It is anticipated that the method will be incorporated into SMIS+ and will be used by TOCs to enable risks to be assessed against a common scale to support better decision making on the allocation of resource against risks. The work will be completed into one work package; WP1. It is expected that during the work package there will be ongoing engagement with the project steering group, and will undertake appropriate reporting and presentation of findings to relevant working groups. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 | | 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 | 17 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Feb 2017 - 29 Dec 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £75,000 | | 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 - 17 Jan 2017 at 11:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 16 Jan 2017 at 11:39 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 11 Jan 2017 at 09:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 9 Jan 2017 at 11:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 5 Jan 2017 at 14:14 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 4 Jan 2017 at 13:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 - 13 Dec 2016 at 14:12 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2b95447f-6995-40bd-9cdb-3171f2370761 17th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/29a06a31-382b-4aa1-a465-a03c09a0c0ac Commercial Pricing Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/01f8180e-772f-4267-9c2e-5a201e1aeda8 RSSB2422 - Development of a Common Event Risk Scoring Methodology - Research and Development Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/73e2a065-bdc7-4d94-bd58-bca5b222f138 RSSB2422 - T1121 - Development of a Common Event Risk Scoring Methodology - Invitation To Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d87b49c7-a7af-41db-943c-1caaf3eb4d32 RSSB 2422 - Development of a Common Event Risk Scoring Methodology- Question and Answer Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/03ac4b03-13bd-46ba-aef1-d9242ecee56e RSSB 2422 - Development of a Common Event Risk Scoring Methodology- Question and Answer Document - 9th January - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a25b7f30-cb31-484d-91be-2bffbb6d7101 RSSB 2422 - Development of a Common Event Risk Scoring Methodology- Question and Answer Document - 11th January - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/87e0c487-f4c7-43df-b2ce-799cfc28e179 Extract of Risk Ranking of Operational Close Calls ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
