This initiative falls under the industry category of telecommunications consultancy services and is located in London. The tender is currently in the active stage of the procurement process, with a deadline for submissions set for 21st May 2018. The estimated contract value is £25,000 with a minimum value of £20,000, and the procurement method is an open procedure, which is applicable for contracts below the threshold. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in consultancy, digital media production, and innovation services. Companies of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to participate as the RSSB seeks to motivate SMEs to engage in the railroad industry's evolving demands. By leveraging their expertise in project management and business consultancy, contenders can contribute to the RSSB Innovation Programme, which aims to generate new business and clientele for its consultancy services while showcasing successful innovation initiatives within the railway sector. ## Notice Introduction and Background The railway industry in Great Britain is undergoing a significant period of change, with growth in passenger and freight custom to levels not seen for many years. In response to this, the industry is investing in trains, stations, infrastructure and service provision. In turn the industry seeks to improve its financial performance and efficiency, so railway users and taxpayers get better value for money. It became clear that the growing demand for services within the constraints faced required new and innovative ways to meet the expectations of rail customers. To support this drive for improvement, the industry developed the Rail Technical Strategy, which describes a range of solutions to its main technical challenges over the next thirty years. Parallel to this the RSSB Innovation Programme (IP) was developed providing access to opportunities and funding for organisations and innovators. The IP supports the industry and the supply chain in the development of innovation capabilities, networking and partnership. The IP stimulates the market for railway innovation through the delivery of competitions, grants, commercial pilots and demonstrators. Project Context At present the IP are expanding their current service offering to include a full-service consultancy for innovation support that can be tailored to the client's needs. As a result the IP are seeking to appoint an external consultant to develop new promotional digital media content. The objectives of this would firstly be to highlight the existing success of the IP and to explain the function of the programme. To date the IP have initiated 340 projects with approximately 220 companies. Secondly the IP would like to showcase how some of these success stories have successfully transitioned from other sectors and are pushing the boundaries of innovation within the rail industry. Proposed content must: 1) Endorse RSSB IP as the spearhead for innovation and change and as a gateway to the industry. 2) Promote awareness of the IP and capability available. 3) Showcase some existing successful projects delivered by the IP. 4) Highlight that future opportunities within the rail industry are vast. 5) Embody the vision of future technology and the realms of possibility, inspiring new entrants into the industry. 6) Garner input from all industry sectors and show that their potential solutions are crucial and desired and that proven technology from other industries could potentially be applied to rail. 7) Demonstrate that companies of all sizes have a part to play and so proposed content should also seek to motivate SMEs. 8) Ultimately generate business and a client base for the IP consultancy. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5eed86b-aec2-4005-be5c-9f1e5549955c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | 21 May 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 May 2018 - 13 Jul 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000 | | 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 | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71316000 - Telecommunication consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services ## Release History - 15 May 2018 at 14:42 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5eed86b-aec2-4005-be5c-9f1e5549955c - 9 May 2018 at 12:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5eed86b-aec2-4005-be5c-9f1e5549955c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5eed86b-aec2-4005-be5c-9f1e5549955c 15th May 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a1a92c58-45e9-41e5-9a0d-e50686051a6a RSSB2701 - Innovation Programme Promotional Content Promotion of the RSSB Innovation Programme and Client Generation - I.T.T - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e7c57b3b-1e40-4dc7-b1e4-307611d28099 RSSB2701 - Innovation Programme Promotional Content Promotion of the RSSB Innovation - T&C - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/acc5362d-bb36-46de-903b-6ab64747e89c RSSB Innovation Services - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ff5a9c4f-2aa9-4363-837b-3bc15f30b03c RSSB Innovation Brochure - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f6d0a5e4-1488-493b-8e73-3b27543b35f2 RSSB2701 - Innovation Programme Promotional Content Promotion of the - Tender Question and Answer - 15th May 2018 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
