The focus of this tender lies within the signalling lights industry category, specifically looking to enhance level crossing safety systems. The procurement is currently in the Tender phase, with submissions due by 16 September 2020. The delivery of the products is intended for locations in London, United Kingdom, and the contract period is projected to commence from 1 February 2021 until 31 January 2029. This is a limited procurement method, characterised as a negotiated procedure without prior publication. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in signalling and safety equipment, particularly those with expertise in developing innovative technologies for railway applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement aims to fulfil multiple requirements across three distinct lots. Successful suppliers can expect to engage in long-term contracts that contribute towards improving safety at level crossings, fostering advancements in infrastructure technology that align with Network Rail's strategic objectives. ## Notice This tender is addressing two requirements. The need to renew existing contracts for Overlay Miniature Stop Light systems (Lot 2) and to find suppliers for two new solutions to be developed through STE's R&D programme (Lot 1 and Lot 3). It is worth noting that the technical part of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) includes questions relating to the Rail Industry Readiness Level (RIRL). Additionally, where there is a commercial commitment from NR, as solutions are being purchased, NR owning the IPR is not required. The supply of this OMSL tender and the delivery of the 3 lots is crucial in regard to delivering NR's Level Crossing Strategy. The 3 lots are for a combination of new and existing level crossing warning systems. Network Rail's (NR) Level Crossing Strategy states that over the next 10 years it wishes to "Use technology to make level crossings which remain open safer and generate more performance and capacity on the network". It goes on to state "The use of technology at our level crossings is a central element of the level crossing safety strategy". It is a crucial measure in improving the safety of sighting-only crossings and protecting users of our highest risk footpath, bridleway and user worked level crossings. The following Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) apply to each lot: - Lot 1 - Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2, Overlay Miniature Stop Light - Lot 2 - Minimum Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3, Overly Miniature Stop Light - Lot 3 - Minimum Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 Interfaced Overlay Miniature Stop Light (IOMSL) Additional information: This procurement aims to source a variety of solutions for Overlay Miniature Stop Light (OMSL) Level Crossing systems. These systems allow an improvement in Level Crossing safety by the provision of active warnings to users in a variety of scenarios, as identified by Subject Matter Experts. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def5ba5f-a8f9-44e7-8010-95326aea659a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure without prior publication (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 31 Jan 2029 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NETWORK RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD | | Locality | MILTON KEYNES, | | Post town | Milton Keynes | | Postcode | MK9 1EN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ12 Milton Keynes | | Local authority | Milton Keynes | | Electoral ward | Central Milton Keynes | | Westminster constituency | Milton Keynes Central | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 31518000 - Signalling lights - 34990000 - Control, safety, signalling and light equipment - 35262000 - Crossing control signalling equipment - 45234115 - Railway signalling works - 45316200 - Installation of signalling equipment ## Release History - 17 Aug 2020 at 07:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def5ba5f-a8f9-44e7-8010-95326aea659a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def5ba5f-a8f9-44e7-8010-95326aea659a 17th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/59d9950e-3b3a-48e2-b7d0-2fbc4786b537 sr_submission_confirmation.pdf - http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:387000-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML(Opensinnewwindow) Overlay Miniature Stop Lights ## Notice URLs - http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:387000-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
