Target 190plus Synthetic Environment for the Design & Test of Signalling Solutions (Phase 2 & 3)

The railway faces a major industry challenge, where the cost and volume of future signalling renewals is unsustainable. Over the next 15 years there is a need to deliver an increase of over 50% of the signalling renewals work at half the current price to achieve a sustainable, affordable railway that can meet customer needs and expectations.Britain must have a reliable, high performing railway that’s fit for the future, delivers financial value and provides operational performance in a safe and sustainable way. To reduce costs and increase access on the railway we are creating new ways of working and introducing new technology. The use of digital technology will improve the services to freight and passenger customers, causing less delays due to signalling failure and track closures for access to complete repairs and providing the opportunity for more trains to run where needed.We’re working across Industry to build a new approach for balancing research and development and engineering solutions with the needs of end users and customers.Target 190plus is a Network Rail Research & Development (R&D) programme that looks at the sustainability of the signalling systems on the network and the challenges these bring to the rail industry. It has the aim to reduce the current whole life cost of signalling from a unit rate of £419,000 to the required £190,000 by 2029 to enable the ETCS Long Term Deployment Plan to be achieved.Synthetic Environment is 1 of 29 projects, the programme will use to reduce costs, improve services for passengers and increase safety by automating signalling design processes, standardising system architectures, implementing faster renewals planning and introducing offsite testing and validation processes.Synthetic Environment Phase 1: concerned the development of detailed requirements for the SE, completed.This procurement event will seek a suitable supplier to deliver Phase 2 and 3 of theSynthetic Environment Project:Phase 2: Development of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for SE and shadow mode runningPhase 3: Full SE capable of delivering all the foreseen technologyand scope options for F-CCS projectsDetailed requirements within the published tender documents.

Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement

Northern Trains Limited (NTL), the "Utility", a Train Operating Company (TOC) that operates passenger rail services across the North of England, is undertaking this procurement process on behalf of a number of "Contracting Utilities" including Train Operating Companies in Great Britain, Network Rail, and a number of Local Transport Authorities. The requirement comprises a framework agreement for the supply and maintenance of Gateline Infrastructure that will enable members of the travelling public to access rail services at stations and other designated locations. The services include: a)Supply of New Gateline infrastructure, including the mechanical components required to control passenger access to designated areas; bank-card readers that possess the necessary certification for compliant use; ITSO card and bar-code readers; b)Installation and Commissioning Services - of Gateline Infrastructure including any required sourcing and supply arrangements, planning, permissions, civils works, connection to all systems and networks, testing and commissioning compliant with all rail industry and other required compliance requirements and standards. An option to decommission Gateline Infrastructure is included within these services; c)The option for Upgrades to existing Gateline components - as may be required so that existing infrastructure or components may be updated and improved to reflect latest functionality and standards; d)Maintenance and Operation - including Device Management to enable the operation of both new and updated Gateline Infrastructure to effective operational levels, providing an acceptable level of service to the public; and e)Demonstrable delivery of Social Value The key objective of the procurement is to establish a framework agreement with a single economic operator that will enable NTL "the Utility" (and the other Contracting Utilities listed on this notice) to enter into their own respective Agreements under the framework following conclusion of the procurement exercise. The nature of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is that both supply, works and services will be 'called-off' by the Utility and Contracting Utilities in accordance with their specific requirements following contract award and in accordance with a 'call-off' procedure that will be subject to negotiation during the procurement process. The value of the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement will therefore depend upon the level of subscription to the framework, however the estimated value is based upon supply and commissioning of 500 Gateline Infrastructure components and their operation and maintenance over the initial contract term and two extension periods. Northern Trains (NTL) has chosen to run the procurement under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition under Regulation 47 of the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016. Given the subject matter of the framework agreement and the exceptional circumstances that apply in respect of award of a contract to single economic operator and proprietary nature of maintenance and operation obligations, the term of the agreement will exceed 8 years as set out in Clause 51(3) of the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016. The contract term for the Gateline Supply and Maintenance Agreement is consequently a five-year initial term with two options for further 5-year extensions.

Projects will be allocated annually. Projects will first be allocated to the Generalist of Specialist level. Projects will then be allocated between contractors (where there is more than one at that level) and will be based on ensuring an equitable allocation of relevant projects for the year between contractors. This will be based on the following 3 factors: (a) Value in monetary terms based on the budget available for of Projects. (b) Risk profile of Projects (as assessed by the Client and being the risk attendant to the relevant Generalist Contractor for each Project) such as stakeholder requirements, consents requirements, access and site conditions/ restrictions, programme restrictions, design complexity and external interfaces for example. (c) Where applicable, Development Projects' Client Priority Levels. The share of work which a contractor is entitled to can be reduced by up to 25% based on KPI performance. The process for allocation of projects is set out in Part 2 of the ERP.

Gateline Replacement

1. ORGANISATIONAL OVERVIEWMerseyrail is one of the most punctual and reliable rail networks in the UK, with consistently high scores for passenger satisfaction and national award wins for customer service. The self-contained network has some of the most affordable fares in the country and operates over 600, regular services per day to 68 stations throughout the Liverpool City Region.2. INTRODUCTIONMerseyrail are working in close partnership with Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) to transform customer journeys ensuring that customers can benefit from a pay as you go (PAYG) Account Based Ticketing system (ABTS). This aligns with the 'London style ticketing' which is a vision endorsed by Merseyrail and the Metro Mayer of the Liverpool City Region.Merseyrail operate a frequent train service across a small dense urban network and the average fare is low. Research shows that customers tend not to purchase their ticket before travel and instead prefer to purchase their ticket at a station.Using a new ABT system passengers would simply tap a platform validator or station gate at the start and end of their journey. The ABT system uses these taps to calculate and charge the best value fare for the journey, removing the need for passengers to queue at ticket offices or work out which ticket they require.The ABT system will be token agnostic, providing the flexibility to accept ITSO (MetroCard), EMV (bank card and EMV devices such as mobile phones) and Barcode. However, Merseyrail's current gate lines do not support EMV and so as part of the Future Ticketing Strategy, we are looking to procure replacement gate lines which will include the above functionality. ITSO will be Phase 1 of the ABT rollout, in which passengers will use the existing MetroCard to tap in and tap out. With integration with Merseytravel's Host Operator Processing System (HOPS), the new ABT system will charge the passenger's bank account assigned to the MetroCard. Phase 2 will be EMV, allowing passengers to tap the gates and platform validators with their bankcard or EMV enabled device, with automatic charges going to that bankcard. Consistent with gate lines across the country, Merseyrail gate lines are not compatible with EMV and so Merseyrail is now looking to replace gate lines with EMV capabilities as part of the delivery of ABT. This procurement will involve replacing 50 gates with priced options for the potential of a further 13 additional gates being installed to the Merseyrail estate, Bidders will be requested to price each location individually to allow prioritisation of sites and budget, as well as an all-inclusive cost which may drive efficiencies and cost savings. Platform validators required for ABT are already installed at all non-gated stations. Based on the planned phases, compatibility with ITSO and EMV are must have requirements, with support for magnetic stripe paper tickets and barcode as options to be costed for separately.3. SCOPEThe scope of this procurement covers physical gate hardware along with systems and services as detailed below.Although the new ABT system will be token agnostic, Merseyrail is looking for costs for the new gate lines to include a breakdown of cost options with CCST magnetic tickets and Barcode ticket compatibility as options, and ITSO and EMV as must haves upon initial installation.A detailed specification will be issued with the Invitation To Tender (ITT), however a high level overview of requirements can be found below. 3.1 Gate ReplacementMerseyrail's estate currently consists of 50 station gates, all of which need to be replaced. In addition to this, In addition to this, 13 new gates may be purchased for installation, with 5 new gates at the Water Street entrance to James Street station, 4 new gates at Lime Street low level and 4 more at Old Hall Street. Gate lines include a mixture of Automatic

Train Control Systems Framework

Following previous market briefing event for this procurement (advertised by notice: 2022/S 000-019181), held on 20 July 2022, Network Rail finalised its sourcing strategy and the approach for this procurement event and held a further launch event on 10 March 2023 (advertised by notice: 2023/S 000-006216). A recording of the launch event on 10 March 2023 is available as part of the procurement documents. The figure stated in II.1.5) Estimated total value relates to the maximum value for the duration of the frameworks. The estimated total value ranges between £3bn and £4bn for both lots. Precise overall spend under the TCS Frameworks will depend on a number of factors including Control Period funding and the output of business case processes. Lot 1 - Conventional: £750m - £1bn Lot 2 - Digital: £2.25bn - £3bn The figure stated in IV.1.3 relates to the envisaged maximum number of suppliers to be appointed to the framework agreement per Lot. The TCSF frameworks are intended to be used for major conventional signalling projects and the delivery of ETCS. Examples of conventional projects which may be commissioned under Lot 1: TCS Framework - Conventional include: • Large/complex conventional signalling renewals for which the predominant discipline will typically be the signalling element; and • Large/complex enhancement projects with major infrastructure alterations whereby the associated signalling and train control infrastructure is subject to major modifications or replaced. In both examples, the signalling scope would be commissioned through Lot 1: TCS Framework - Conventional, and other disciplines / adjacent non-signalling infrastructure works if required would be sourced by Network Rail (via market competition or existing frameworks) • Significant/complex signalling scope connected to the separate sourcing of the planning, with integration and design of the works under an enterprise style venture by the region. In this example, the signalling scope would be commissioned through Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional but the appointed TCSF supplier would work on a day to day basis with the regionally appointed signalling integrator (acting on behalf of the client). Other conventional signalling work will still be sourced by regional teams via separate arrangements outside of the Lot 1: TCS Framework – Conventional -whether signalling only or as part of a multi-disciplinary scheme. This scope of this conventional signalling work will typically comprise: • Minor non-complex or medium complexity conventional signalling renewal or enhancement schemes which do not involve deployment of a new signalling system; and • Large complex enhancement projects may be placed outside of the TCS framework Lot 1 but these will typically be where the predominant discipline is not the signalling element and/or where the signalling scope requires extensions to signalling system rather than major modifications or the deployment of a new signalling system.

Design Contest-Track Buckle Risk and Detection

The onset of hot weather brings with it the risk of track buckling if high rail temperatures are combined with deficiencies within the track system (i.e., incorrect rail stress, disturbed / deficient ballast, lateral alignment faults, incorrect rail joint gaps, etc.). Ideally, all such deficiencies should be eliminated before the hot weather season starts. As air temperatures increase during periods of hot weather, rail temperatures also increase. Metals expand and contract as the temperature changes. If a length of steel rail is rigidly clamped at both ends and then heated, the metal expands and is put under compression until the force becomes too great and exceeds the track systems lateral resistance forces.A PIN was run in early 2021 to determine the levels of pre-market engagement of this challenge statement which received a strong response. Network Rail would like to invite prospective suppliers to complete Phase 1 and 2 of the Track Buckle Risk and Detection Tender we are putting out which will ask a range of Qualification, Technical and Commercial questions.

The PIN does not constitute any commitment by HS2 to undertake any public procurement exercise. 2) Section II.1.3) Type of contract – HS2 Ltd has not yet determined the nature of any arrangement to be entered into for the beneficial re-use of the surplus excavated material. Any arrangement may not be a contract to which the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 or the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 apply. 3) Section II.1.5) Estimated total value – HS2 Ltd’s current budget assumes transport costs for the surplus excavated material to be removed from site but that the material can be put to beneficial re-use and therefore that the material may have a value rather than be subject to disposal costs and taxes. 4) Section II.1.6) Information about lots – HS2 Ltd is willing to explore sites/schemes at different locations but its preference is for one site/scheme to take all the available material to minimise environmental impact and logistics. 5) Section II.2.3) Place of performance – the material will arise from works to be undertaken along the Phase 2a route but is likely to be made available primarily at Yarnfield Lane in Stone. HS2 Ltd wishes to mitigate the environmental and economic impact of transportation.

The date given in section II.3 is HS2 Ltd’s estimated earliest date from when the material may be available. 7) HS2 Phase Two is being delivered in 2 stages: HS2 Phase 2a (West Midlands to Crewe) and HS2 Phase 2b (Crewe to Manchester, and the West Midlands to Leeds). The Phase 2a route is authorised by virtue of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands – Crewe) Act 2021 that secured Royal Assent on 11 February 2021. 8) HS2 Ltd reserves the right not to commence any procurement process or award any contract/s in respect of the arrangements/services referred to this PIN and to amend the requirements stated in this PIN. 9) Publication of this PIN is part of the normal HS2 Ltd due diligence process on its options, and the publication of this PIN does not indicate that a decision has been made on a particular route for a procurement and/or subsequent contract award, if any. 10) Interested parties will not be prejudiced by any response to this PIN.

The vision for this project is “To define and test Mobility Hubs, based on citizen-centric needs, to determine what contribution they can make to building a better connected, more prosperous, fairer, greener and healthier region”. The project is the second phase of the West Midlands Mobility Hub Programme. With this programme, Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) will be among the first UK regions to deploy a large network of mobility hubs.TfWM will introduce hubs on the transport network (including rail and bus stations), local centres, and within residential developments. At these locations, hubs will:• Introduce a physical platform for the introduction of sustainable travel options.• Co-locate sustainable travel options to provide users with an integrated experience.• Provide wider community services to help people to live locally.TfWM are seeking a partner (Supplier) to design, supply, install, deliver the required infrastructure. The Supplier will work collaboratively with TfWM and the constituent authorities of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Together, we will use our prototype design and the core requirements set out in this specification to develop a cost-effective, street-ready, high-quality, and user-centred mobility hub product for the region.By April 2023, we require the Supplier to design, supply, install and deliver three mobility hubs in 2023. TfWM will use these three hubs during a DfT-funded pilot in Halesowen. Following this, there is the potential that TfWM will install up to 40 mobility hubs across the region by 2027. TfWM aims to work with the Supplier appointed through this procurement process on both phases of the programme. This wider deployment is subject to quality delivery during the pilot project, and business case approval.
