Located in London, the procurement is focused on platform interconnectivity software development services, among other related consultancy offerings. The tender period is set to close on 29th September 2017, with a contract duration commencing from 9th October 2017 and concluding on 31st May 2018. The estimated value of the project is £60,000, with a minimum threshold of £50,000, representing an opportunity within the public procurement space aimed at improving data sharing across the rail industry. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in remote condition monitoring systems within the transport sector. Companies that can demonstrate proficiency in commercial agreement frameworks, data architecture, and technical consultancy stand to benefit greatly. The project's objective to facilitate data sharing among stakeholders like Crossrail and Network Rail further emphasises the potential for future collaborations in this evolving landscape. ## Notice RSSB and the Cross Industry Remote Condition Monitoring Strategy Group (XIRCM SG) have sponsored several research projects to encourage and facilitate the sharing of remote condition monitoring (RCM) data across the rail industry - particularly where trains are gathering information about the infrastructure on which they operate or vice versa. The most recent of these projects is T1010 Cross-industry Remote Condition Monitoring, whose goal was to create a toolkit which could be used by parties wishing to share data across industry boundaries. The toolkit has 4 components, each addressing one of the constraints to such data sharing: * A Documentation Map (T1010-03). This shows where relevant standards and documents can be found and gives outline guidance into the use of the toolkit. * A Business Case Tool (T1010-04). This enables the costs and benefits of the data sharing initiative to be assessed, both overall and from the point of view of each of the stakeholders. This helps establish whether the exercise is worthwhile and informs the terms of the agreement between parties on sharing of costs. * A Data Architecture (T1010-01). This defines a process structure, open data standards and common sharing methods to address the technical issues around making data available in a usable way. * A Process Map and Template Contract (T1010-02). This sets out a process to work out the commercial principles, roles, and responsibilities for the participants; and provides a set of contract conditions and schedules that can form the basis of an agreement between the parties involved. Following the publication of T1010, industry consultation suggested that while it covered the necessary ground, it was not readily usable in its current state. RSSB recognise that T1010 was theoretical in nature and needed to be road-tested in actual data sharing projects. RSSB and XIRCM SG have identified an actual data sharing project whose stakeholders are keen to use a T1010-based approach because it offers the potential of simple future expansion in extent and scope and could form a template for future similar data sharing initiatives. The project is to pass to Network Rail Western Route track condition data gathered about their track by unattended track geometry monitoring (UTGM) equipment mounted on Crossrail Class 345 trains. These trains will run over NR Western infrastructure initially between Paddington and Heathrow Airport Junction, then later between Paddington and Reading. The purpose of this commission is to support RSSB / XIRCM SG and the key project stakeholders - Crossrail and Network Rail Western - in setting up this project by doing the following: * Advising them on the use of the T1010 toolkit to define the business case, determine an approach for commercial agreement, and address the technical challenges of this project. * Assisting them in setting up a prototype data broker to mediate the data exchange, demonstrating the key elements of the Data Bus approach. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Sep 2017 | | Submission deadline | 29 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Oct 2017 - 31 May 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | 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 | 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 - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 72212211 - Platform interconnectivity software development services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73300000 - Design and execution of research and development ## Release History - 27 Sep 2017 at 14:42 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 - 21 Sep 2017 at 15:16 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 - 5 Sep 2017 at 14:13 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 - 21 Aug 2017 at 10:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/25ba63bf-e665-4caa-948e-ccc248295a28 27th September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/717939aa-f3c0-410d-aed8-205390a706a7 Commercial Pricing Schedule - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/69daa865-c2d0-44c3-b0d0-2fb42fcc57f4 IMP-RCM phase 2 Supplier presentation - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e02b220f-3db3-4c85-af5b-4d7fc2baecde RSSB2627 - IMP-RCM Implementation case study for the T1010 XIRCM toolkit - Research&Development Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b2ab23fb-43e5-4356-a700-2e60d0c0d6c1 RSSB2627 - IMP-RCM Implementation case study for the T1010 XIRCM toolkit - I.T.T - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6fb9b46c-2a5c-4638-9bde-044dea474dab RSSB2627 - IMP-RCM Implementation case study for the T1010 XIRCM toolkit - Tender Question and Answer Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/417827b1-f54b-47e9-a166-d837fe0bf64f RSSB2627 - IMP-RCM Implementation case study for the T1010 XIRCM toolkit - Tender Question and Answer Document - 27th September ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
