This process is currently in the planning stage and will culminate in a Supplier Day on Thursday, 10th August, from 10 am to 12 pm at their offices located in The Helicon, London (EC2M 2RB). Interested parties are required to confirm their attendance by emailing shareditt@rssb.co.uk by 5 pm on Wednesday, 9th August. An engagement end date has been set for 23rd February 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in market analysis and economic trends. Companies involved in financial consultancy, market research, and the development of travel-related technologies would be particularly well-positioned to participate. As the rail industry faces changing dynamics in passenger demand, businesses that can provide insights into economic structures, socio-demographic trends, and innovative transport solutions will find ample opportunity to engage with RSSB's initiatives. ## Notice RSSB is holding a Supplier Day on Thursday 10th August from 10-12 here at our London Offices. If you would like to attend please email shareditt@rssb.co.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 9th August confirming your attendance. Please be sure to read the available attachments that are attached to this Contract Notice. -- In the last 20 years, the rail industry has seen continued growth, journey numbers have doubled, and this has allowed the proportion of subsidy from government to be reduced over time. However, there are now early signs that this is beginning to change. Whilst still growing, passenger revenue in the last year increased by 2.5%, compared to an average over the last 20 years of 6.8%. With total passenger revenue amounting to approximately PS9.5Bn annually, the change can have large implications on passenger operator franchising agreements and ultimately on the Treasury's budget. Whilst this decline in growth can, at least in part, be explained by traditional economic factors, such as a GDP, fuel prices and rail fairs, the change is larger than forecasts using best practises for the rail industry. It is hypothesised, that these unexpected differences are a manifestation of the major and rapid changes facing our society, which are starting to have an important role in travel demand. A scoping study commissioned by RSSB and carried out by KPMG has explored a long list of current and future trends that could impact rail, and identified six major themes that have the potential to make a significant impact on both travel demand in general and on rail's competitive position within the domestic travel marketplace. These key themes are: 1. Changes to the structure of the economy (e.g. flexible working, automation) 2. Socio-demographic structure (e.g. aging population, urbanisation) 3. Alternatives and substitutes to travel (e.g. virtualisation, 3D printing) 4. Price, quality and availability of transport (e.g. autonomous vehicles, hyperloop) 5. Integration between modes (e.g. personalisation, mobility as a service) 6. Policy and regulation (e.g. demand management and charging, regulation) This qualitative study has made recommendations for the next steps industry could take to develop an approach to understanding the key drivers that impact travel choice, including: * A further exploration of the key themes identified, utilising existing data sources and analytical methods to quantitively assess their range of expected impacts and associated timescales. * Building a better picture of the trade-offs that customers make by: o Understanding travel choice at an individual level, utilising technology to collect better information about a passenger's specific end to end journey choices. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RAIL SAFETY AND STANDARDS BOARD LIMITED | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79300000 - Market and economic research; polling and statistics ## Release History - 14 Aug 2017 at 13:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e - 7 Aug 2017 at 09:22 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e - 2 Aug 2017 at 13:07 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e - 2 Aug 2017 at 12:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/902e36eb-1531-48f1-8ff2-87365736b62e 14th August 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/96f30e6f-7362-4ca0-af56-6aa9ec58febb T1134 supplier day invite_Final - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d49294de-9f95-400e-9c6e-fb2a42df1ce5 Scoping_Study_on_future_trends_in_passenger_rail_demand_FINAL - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7edb44fd-84b8-45a6-899c-9bf6a398e133 Scoping_Study_on_future_trends_in_passenger_rail_demand_FINAL - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3aa0db20-1266-4b5d-b473-1a13f5f8d377 Understanding key drivers that impact travel choice_supplier day presentation_v4 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
