This initiative falls under the research and development services category (CPV code 73000000) and is located in London, specifically at The Helicon, 1 South Place, EC2M 2RB. A supplier day is scheduled for Friday, 17th August 2018, between 10:00 and 12:00, with a deadline for expressions of interest by the close of business on Thursday, 16th August 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and development, particularly those specialising in data analysis and driver management systems. Companies that can contribute innovative solutions to enhance driver competence and streamline the management process for Train Operating Companies (TOCs) will be particularly well-suited to compete. By engaging in this project, potential suppliers can build collaboration networks with established rail industry players and contribute to an initiative that aims to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency in driver training and assessment. ## Notice RSSB is holding supplier day on Friday 17th August 2018 from 10:00 to 12:00. If your organisation is interested in attending please contact the below email address by COP Thursday 16th August: Shareditt@rssb.co.uk -- Purpose This notification is to invite interested parties to provide input into the specification of a trial through an Expression of Interest (EoI) and supplier day. This project aims to develop, trial and demonstrate value from a tool to assist Train Operating Companies (TOCs) with driver competence support and management. The rail industry invests significant amounts of time and money in driver training and in demonstrating driver competence through assessments, including manual analysis of data from On-Train Data Recorders (OTDR). These activities, which are typically incorporated into a competence management system, can be time-consuming to and incur substantial cost. Additionally, there is presently no industry approach to demonstrating the efficacy of competence management systems in an objective manner. Under the Strategic Partnership established with University of Huddersfield (UOH), a project was carried out to investigate the feasibility of developing of a range of Automated Driver Competency Indicators (ADCIs) based on the automatic analysis of OTDR data. The initial results of this project showed that these ADCIs showed promise but that further work was required to trial and demonstrate value before they would be implemented by Train Operating Companies. Potential benefits to industry through use of ADCIs include: 1. Reducing the time taken for driver managers to manually check OTDR data. 2. Improved visibility of driver performance. 3. Increasing the objectivity of assessments of driver performance. 4. Capturing data over time, allowing monitoring of trends and precursors. 5. Providing drivers with timely feedback on their performance, and the potential for drivers to self evaluate. 6. Allowing better targeting of competence management focussing on those drivers in need of support. It is the aspiration of RSSB that this trial will encourage suppliers and train operating companies to further develop and use ADCIs to realise the potential benefits. Proposed scope and structure The aim for this project is to take a collaborative approach between RSSB, Train Operating Companies (TOCs), the University of Huddersfield and the successful suppler for the project. The proposal is to have the supplier develop and implement ADCIs for the TOC partners who will give input into their requirements and give feedback on the efficacy of the ADCIs. The University of Huddersfield RSSB will support the project from a technical point of view and will deliver work package 3, and it is planned for RSSB to support the trial from a human factors and training perspective and will review outputs. Two TOCs have already agreed in principle to supporting the project, providing their in kind support. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da65b28e-fb76-4661-abf6-09d72e1abe59 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 Aug 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Aug 2018 at 10:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da65b28e-fb76-4661-abf6-09d72e1abe59 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da65b28e-fb76-4661-abf6-09d72e1abe59 7th August 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9385662b-b48b-4c66-b073-442260ad79c5 RSSB2725 - Trial of Automated Driver Competence Indicators using On Train Data Recorders, to support driver management - EOI - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b0d3a755-6a04-479f-bc56-4a77a58dab6b RSSB2725 - Trial of Automated Driver Competence Indicators using On Train Data Recorders, to support driver management - EOI ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
