This procurement is classified under research and development services, aiming to analyse the forces involved during overhead line de-wirements. The tender period is set to close on 4th May 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 5th June 2017 and run until 26th January 2018. The project is primarily based in the United Kingdom, and the procurement is classified as a service contract, using an 'Other' submission method. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those with expertise in risk analysis related to railway systems and electrification. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as their participation can significantly contribute to the project's objectives. Companies adept at understanding infrastructure challenges and developing solutions for operational delays and safety in railway contexts will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. ## Notice RSSB project T1060 - Forces during de-wirements (overhead line de-wirements) is already in delivery and aims to understand the forces during dewirements. Two work packages have already been completed: WP01 - Desktop review and suggested scenarios for WP02 and WP02 - Calculation and understanding the forces produced during a de-wirement looked at helping to categorise previous de-wirement incidents and to investigate the forces involved. Further research is now needed to support an analysis of the issues that lead to a de-wirement incident and the potential consequences to the infrastructure, rolling stock, travelling, general public and railway staff as the result of a de-wirement incident. The cost of operational delay, infrastructure and rolling stock repairs, injuries and consequential risk should also be considered.
