This initiative aims to facilitate the planning of rail decarbonisation by developing future traction energy technologies along with an economic model to support decision-making. The tender period for submission has been extended to 2nd May 2018, and the anticipated contract period is from 14th May 2018 to 31st January 2019. The project is classified under research and development services, and it is located in London, UK, with a contract value between £50,000 and £100,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in research and development services, consultancy, and energy solutions. Businesses well-suited for competition would be those with expertise in traction energy technologies and decarbonisation strategies, which are pivotal for the rail industry’s transition towards sustainable practices. Participation in this project can enhance business visibility and contribute to long-term growth, particularly for firms focused on innovative energy solutions. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 30 April 2018 for the following reason: Please note that the deadline for submitting tenders have been extended to 02/05/18 17:00.The project aims to support the planning of rail decarbonisation, providing an outlook of future traction energy technologies, as well as the associated costs and benefits. This is planned to help support the industry in transitioning towards decarbonised traction across the network. By developing options around technology developments, building an economic model to act as a decision support tool, and formulating a roadmap(s), this project should support the industry's transition to new forms of traction. In turn, this will support the 'Optimum Energy Use' Key Capability and complement the wider industry response to Jo Johnson's call for 'decarbonising rail'.
