This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, interested in research services related to colour vision requirements in the transportation sector.

This research will investigate and develop colour vision thresholds suitable for mainline train drivers and the colour dependant activities they undertake. These thresholds should be compatible with, or translatable to, an existing colour vision test to determine acceptable and safe operating levels of colour vision deficiency.

However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
