## Summary

RSSB, located in London, recently completed the procurement process titled "GB-London: 844651393 T1332 Agreeing industry guidance for mobile electronic devices," classified under research services (CPV code: 73110000). This procurement aims to establish minimal specifications for integrating new mobile technology into drivers' tasks, ensuring that operators have clear guidance for procuring functional and ergonomic devices. The research contract, valued at £59,978.5 GBP, was awarded to Ove Arup and Partners. The tender process concluded on 30th May 2024, with the contract starting from 31st May 2024 and ending on 28th February 2025, encompassing delivery locations that include the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories, and the Rest of the World.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in mobile technology and research services, especially those with expertise in ergonomic design and risk assessment for smart devices. The specificity of the guidance needed opens doors for firms that can innovate and provide targeted solutions that minimise distractions and enhance operational efficiency. Companies like Ove Arup and Partners, which have been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of large-scale, sophisticated businesses well-suited to compete in such tenders. Additionally, while not particularly geared towards SMEs, the project is suitable for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in contributing to safety and technological advancements in transportation.

## Notice

RSSB is seeking to procure research to highlight the minimal specifications needed in order to integrate new mobile technology into the driver's task. As technology use grows separately within different organisations, it is important that all operators have clear guidance on what the functional and ergonomic requirements are of a device to support specific driving tasks. In turn this will allow operators to identify the most appropriate device to procure. Standards and guidance surrounding smart devices within driver's tasks revolves mostly around the distraction risk rather than the requirements for the devices. Furthermore, the onus is on the operators to undertake risk assessments, as such the guidance is very generic and high level.
