The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 26 April 2017 at 23:59. This tender is set within the services industry and will take place in London, UK, with a total contract value of £100,000 and a minimum value of £50,000. The contract is expected to commence on 12 June 2017 and conclude on 28 February 2018. The procurement method is an open procedure, inviting responses from all interested parties. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and development services, particularly those with expertise in environmental assessments and noise management within the rail sector. Businesses with capabilities in providing consultancy services and innovative solutions to mitigate noise impacts would be well-positioned to participate in this tender, potentially raising their profile in the infrastructure and transport industries while contributing to improved community relations in areas affected by railway noise. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 21 April 2017 for the following reason: PLEASE NOTE THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION HAS BEEN UPDATED TO 11TH MAY 2017 AT 16:00.8.1There is increasing evidence that long-term environmental noise above a certain level has a negative influence on health; these effects can be both physical and mental, and may even disrupt children's learning. Railways subject local soundscapes to numerous acoustic intrusions, notably those from rail traffic, train horns, idling engines, public address systems, and activities associated with infrastructure maintenance. With objectionable frequency, volume, timing, or secondary effects (for example, vibrations), this operational soundtrack may give the residents of line-side properties cause for complaint. Please refer to the attached Request for Proposal Document for further details. This document can be accessed through the Delta portal https://rssb.delta-esourcing.com/. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ace26c0-0059-4d2f-b42e-1f1040e596b2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 26 Apr 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Jun 2017 - 28 Feb 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | RSSB | | 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 | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 21 Apr 2017 at 09:09 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ace26c0-0059-4d2f-b42e-1f1040e596b2 - 13 Apr 2017 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ace26c0-0059-4d2f-b42e-1f1040e596b2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ace26c0-0059-4d2f-b42e-1f1040e596b2 21st April 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-RSSB2502-Assessing-how-the-rail-industry-can-improve-and-influence-the-management-of-noise-impacts/7983ZQY363 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://rssb.delta-esourcing.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
