This initiative falls under the research services category, aimed at assessing the feasibility of an emissions reduction incentivisation scheme for the rail sector. The tender is in the open stage of procurement, with proposals due by 7 April 2021. The project is set to commence on 3 May 2021 and is expected to conclude by 25 February 2022. The project will be located in London, United Kingdom, and has a budget range of £100,000 to £500,000. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to engage in impactful research that could shape future rail emissions strategies. Businesses specialising in environmental consulting, transportation research, and data analysis would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. By participating in this project, successful bidders could contribute to sustainable practices within the rail industry and enhance their portfolios in environmental mitigation efforts. ## Notice RSSB intends to procure research that is proposed to assess the feasibility, and potential criteria and mechanisms of an incentivisation scheme for rail, helping to ensure that should such a scheme be introduced, rail is able to steer the direction appropriately. The aim of T1236 is to assess the feasibility of a potential emissions reduction incentivisation scheme for rail. The research aims to answer the following research questions: *Whether incentivisation of emissions reductions should be network wide or just in metropolitan areas, and where the boundaries should typically be? *What level of incentivisation would be required to achieve a reduction in emissions whilst ensuring rail remains competitive compared to other transport modes? *How the incentivisation would be administered and how the funds raised could be used to achieve the required emission reduction? 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/b2747693-cb6b-4d5c-8bba-0b9e90b5fdeb | | 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 | 4 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 May 2021 - 25 Feb 2022 | | 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 - 4 Mar 2021 at 18:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2747693-cb6b-4d5c-8bba-0b9e90b5fdeb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b2747693-cb6b-4d5c-8bba-0b9e90b5fdeb 4th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-T1236-Rail-Emissions-mitigation---incentivisation-feasibility-study/8X62NN5K9Z Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
