The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender period that ends on 11 July 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 24 July 2017 and run through to 18 September 2017. This tender presents an opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in transport systems and software safety to engage in a project that will directly inform policy development for the Department for Transport. Businesses that focus on technical testing, analysis, and safety consultancy services, especially SMEs, are well-suited to participate in this procurement. Companies interested in enhancing their footprint within governmental contracts should register promptly on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite to respond effectively. ## Notice The purpose of this study is to aid the Department for Transport understanding of the processes and decision making triggers for how software updates are managed in industries where there is a need to maintain the safety case/approval of the items that are updated. The project should focus on software updates to equipment in the field, rather than updates to software before the component or system leaves a factory. The report will then be used within the Department to inform policy development in this field.
