The aim of the T1071 research has been to improve the technical readiness level of the products developed through these programmes to the points where they can be further developed into commercial products for use across the railway industry. The table below identifies the dates for work to be carried out by the supplier (Work Areas (WA) 1-4) based on the anticipated availability of the research deliverables. T1071-04 Work Package Objectives The objective of this work package T1071-04 is to prepare an easily understandable, attractive, top level brochure of a maximum of 35 pages aimed at key non-technical decision makers in the railway industry to highlight the achievements and benefits for the industry of the FuTRO programme, within the individual DEDOTS, DITTO and SafeCap+ areas. It will include: * An outline of the progress that has been made * An indication of the technical readiness levels of the products that have been developed * An outline of the next steps and further development that will be needed to fully commercialise these into products that can be used within the railway industry The overall objective of this work package is to promote the DEDOTS, DITTO and SafeCap+ products in an attractive and easily understandable way to the point where industry sponsors can quickly grasp the benefits and be persuaded to consider further investment to fully realise their potential value. As the work that has been developed is of a complex technical nature, the products developed and their potential for further dissemination must be explained in an interesting and easily understood way that will be of interest to the general reader and 'person on the street'. It must be clear how this work fits into the 'bigger picture' of other major programmes within the railway industry such as the Digital Railway programme and how these can contribute to the vision being developed through these. As such, it is thought that the preparation and extensive use of drawings, pictures and diagrams will be needed. An 'infographic' is to be prepared for each work area to convey the key features of the systems. This work package will be developed in four stages covering each of the project work areas: * Stage 1 (WA1) - preparation of an easily understandable attractive high level self-standing report of 5-10 pages covering the RSSB project work package T1071-01 SafeCap+ out-puts within 2 months of contract award. This work package has already been completed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8460e1b8-f25c-4b62-ac3b-2612079d5baf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 13 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Feb 2017 - 2 Apr 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,000 | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 5 Jan 2017 at 15:23 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8460e1b8-f25c-4b62-ac3b-2612079d5baf - 13 Dec 2016 at 11:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8460e1b8-f25c-4b62-ac3b-2612079d5baf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8460e1b8-f25c-4b62-ac3b-2612079d5baf 5th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2d6c5a12-62e2-4674-a014-8f5100ab6b63 RSSB2433 - T1071-04 - FuTRO - DEDOTS, DITTO, SafeCap+ Implementation - Invitation To Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/07b2dc68-d176-4fe6-b98e-e52106de282a RSSB2433 - T1071-04 - FuTRO - DEDOTS, DITTO, SafeCap+ Implementation - Research and Development Terms & Conditions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/52a8b654-ae87-4f0d-8cba-044f74d3419f Commercial Pricing Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a6f0a7e8-701f-4307-8226-f6a9a1245675 RSSB2433 - T1071-04 - FuTRO - DEDOTS, DITTO, SafeCap+ Implementation - Tender Question and Answer Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/43b8d591-f799-4448-b1fd-096028e4c2c9 2016-05-t1009-exec-report2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
