Description
BCIMO has a need to outsource the development of a Full Business Case that will be submitted to the UK's Department for Transport for City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement (CRSTS) grant funding for the following. The Very Light Rail National Innovation (VLRNIC) has been established with ERDF and LEP funding to be a unique, world-class, test, research and development facility, focussed on advanced cost reduction technologies and innovations in Light and, in particular, Very Light Rail. Now operational, it can be considered as a national rail research asset. BCIMO is the not-for-profit research and technology organisation that was created to launch and operate the centre. The VLRNIC now requires additional funding to lead and deliver a programme of R&D to develop the technologies, become a collaborative incubator space for regional SMEs, innovators and technology providers who can contribute to the growth of the burgeoning Very Light Rail industry - reducing the operational costs of public transport schemes to include, but not limited to, Coventry VLR. The model follows the hugely successful formula followed by the UK Government's Catapult network and others, including HoribaMIRA and UTAC (Millbrook) in the automotive industry. There is an immediate opportunity to recreate this in the rail industry with an urgent focus on cost reduction and introducing mid-TRL-level technologies. Further details are included in an attached file.
