This initiative is set to take place in London, with a key milestone date for engagement ending on 24 April 2019. The project aims to engage suppliers in understanding and contributing to the research specification regarding good train regulation practices as the industry transitions to CP6 metrics. Interested suppliers are invited to attend a supplier day on 24 April 2019 from 16:00 to 17:00 to discuss the project proposal and provide insights into the research requirements. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and technical analysis sectors, particularly those with expertise in railway operations, performance modelling, and policy modification. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as they can bring innovative solutions and agility to the project. The focus on developing a toolkit and good practice guide for train regulation makes this a valuable opportunity for companies that can demonstrate previous experience in research, consultancy, and related services within the rail industry. ## Notice RSSB is holding a supplier day on 24/04/19 from 16:00 to 17:00 at our offices in London prior to running a competitive tender for the following requirement. RSSB requires a supplier to undertake research to quantify how good train regulation practice supports the industry transition to CP6 metrics. This should define and test good train regulation practice for an 'on time' railway. This is envisaged to enable the development of a toolkit and/or good practice guide to support staff to create/modify train regulation policies and apply these policies in practice. For more details please see the attached draft specification. The purpose of the supplier day is to: * Provide an outline of the project proposal * Provide interested suppliers an opportunity to discuss, understand and inform the research specification Suppliers should be prepared to discuss the following: * What data and information would suppliers require access to in order to: o Understand good train regulation practice from existing/previous trials modifying train regulation policies o Undertake performance modelling of the characteristics that underpin good train regulation practice, to assess the applicability and transferability of these on the wider network o Test the association between capacity utilisation and different train regulation thresholds * What are the challenges and barriers to delivering this work? What enablers would support successful delivery of the project? * What is the suppliers estimate of effort required to deliver the project? If you would like to attend, please email shareditt@rssb.co.uk with 'T-1178 Supplier Day' in the heading. Please note that due to space restrictions, two (2) representatives will be permitted per organisation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c68269d0-aca4-4adc-b5f2-15b09342ab42 | | 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 | 17 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Apr 2019 | | 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 - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Apr 2019 at 11:21 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c68269d0-aca4-4adc-b5f2-15b09342ab42 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c68269d0-aca4-4adc-b5f2-15b09342ab42 17th April 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ef4ddbd7-7a7c-4465-9e8e-9130983528e4 Draft Specification ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
