## Summary

The Office of Rail and Road is inviting tenders for the "PRIMA Risk Analysis" project, set within the Rail industry's safety sector under the procurement category of services. The project will be carried out by the Railway Safety Directorate to improve decision-making on speed restrictions during adverse weather conditions. This open procurement, under legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, is situated in London with services delivered across the UK. Critical dates include an enquiry period ending on 17th October 2025, a tender submission deadline on 24th October 2025, and the contract period from 3rd November 2025 to 30th January 2026. The procurement method is an open competition below the threshold, with submissions accepted electronically.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in risk or hazard assessment for construction, evidenced by CPV classification 71313410. It is particularly advantageous for SMEs and VCSEs, given the lot's suitability for them. Bidders are encouraged to showcase their quality standards extensively, as the award criteria heavily weigh 90% on quality and 10% on cost. The total budget available is £12,000 gross (£10,000 net), presenting a viable opportunity for services related to the development of safety tools and systems for railway operations.

## Notice

This project is being commissioned by the Railway Safety Directorate (RSD), which is the health and safety enforcing authority for the railway industry. RSD carries out inspection, investigation and enforcement activity as part of its role in enforcing relevant health and safety legislation. PRIMA (Proportionate Risk Response to Implementing Mitigating Speeds to Assets) is described by Network Rail as a decision-support tool, aimed at assisting control room staff in identifying appropriate speed restrictions that should be imposed in adverse or extreme weather. It has its origins in RSSB's Research Project T1269 'Development of a system risk model for extreme rainfall events', published in October 2022. The model has since been further developed by RSSB, to Network Rail specifications.
