Description
NOTE: This notice was updated on 29 July 2021 for the following reason: The deadline for tender submission is extended to 13 August 2021.(The project aims to provide the GB rail industry with the necessary information to understand the possible ways forward when changes to the TSI on DAC are introduced in 2022 and the implications of each option. To guide industry decisions on how DAC should be considered for the WAG NTSN, this research will need to identify and analyse: â¢Technical and operation implications of adopting DAC (e.g. required work to fit and retrofit, new solutions unlocked by their use - e.g. information, confirmation of formation, sensing solutions) as well as of not adopting DAC (e.g. cost and availability of current couplings if EU adopts DAC, implication on international operations, implication on GB operations and alternative/future technological solutions). â¢Potential strategies and associated timescales for managing the transition from conventional couplings to DAC for both new build and retro fitment in GB. â¢Benefits, costs and risks for the transition options identified, including consideration of future implications in term of technology dependencies and opportunities, in particular those related to ETCS and train integrity.)
Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
