This procurement falls under the research services category and is based in London, UK. Currently, the tender is in the open procurement stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 26th July 2019. The contract is valued between £100,000 and £500,000 and is intended to run from 30th August 2019 to 28th February 2020. The procurement process follows an open procedure, allowing a broad range of applicants to participate. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in transportation and adhesion-related studies. Businesses that can demonstrate robust analytical capabilities and innovative solutions in low adhesion mitigation measures would be particularly well-suited to compete. Participation in this project could lead to enhanced visibility and potential follow-up contracts in the transport research sector. ## Notice T1181 looks to provide robust analysis of the effects DVRS, ATUSTs, TGAs and RHTTs have on braking during low adhesion. This provide will implement lessons learnt from previous research projects COF-DART and T1159, it will also address additional questions raised by them. Data captured as part of the Double Variable Rate Sanders pilot being undertaken on the cross-city line through Birmingham will provide more accurate and granular data, which in combination with routine datasets used in COF-DART and T1159 will enable more detailed analysis. It will also enable analysis of how trends driving style affect the efficacy of the low adhesion mitigations. This work will also analyse data from outside the autumn period to identify global changes in driving styles between autumn and other seasons (initially summer only but with the possibility to also compare against winter and spring) to identify which phase of train journeys are most affect by low adhesion, i.e. station departures (traction/acceleration), attained speeds and or station arrives (braking/deceleration). 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/8b9828c3-d227-44fe-8030-cbd2f141f76f | | 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 | 28 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Aug 2019 - 28 Feb 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 | 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 - 28 Jun 2019 at 16:40 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b9828c3-d227-44fe-8030-cbd2f141f76f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b9828c3-d227-44fe-8030-cbd2f141f76f 28th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-T1181-02-ADHERE-In-service-assessment-of-adhesion-mitigation-measures/9A54537CW7 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
