## Summary

The Rail Safety Standards Board (RSSB) is inviting tenders for research on professional driving policies for passenger operators under the European Train Control System (ETCS). The project, entitled "How do professional driving policies for passenger operators change under ETCS," falls under the research services category. Located in London, the procurement stage is currently at the tender phase, with submissions due by 15 November 2024. The contract period will commence on 16 December 2024 and conclude on 15 December 2025. The procurement process is an open procedure, with an estimated value between £100,000 and £500,000. This opportunity is available to businesses globally, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the rest of the world.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in research services, particularly those with expertise in transportation, safety standards, and policy development. Companies specialising in driving policies, rail safety, and operational efficiency would be well-suited to compete. Given the scope and budget of the project, this tender could drive growth by providing a platform for expanding market presence and showcasing expertise in a critical area of rail safety. While SMEs may not be explicitly targeted, organisations with a focus on voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, underscoring the inclusive approach of the RSSB in driving innovation and safety improvements.

## Notice

RSSB is seeking to procure research to identify what is required in a professional driving policy to support safe and efficient driving on an ETCS route. There is currently no industry guidance to support operators in defining these requirements.
