title: UKRI-3977 Monitoring Services Provider Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

description:
UKRI procures multiple low-value contracts for monitoring services. These services require technically proficient suppliers to independently review innovative projects funded by Innovate UK, ensuring they meet the terms of their investment. Through this procurement, UKRI are establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to procure these services.
The estimated launch date of the DPS will be 1st March 2025
The DPS will function as a fully electronic tendering system, allowing suppliers to apply for admission to a "pool" of suppliers within a specified lot of which there are a total of 45 lots. Being admitted to this pool does not guarantee any work, but UKRI intends to invite tenders from suppliers within the pool for future Monitoring Services opportunities. Suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any point during its lifecycle. However, UKRI strongly encourages as many organisations as possible to apply during the Initial Joining Stage to maximise the benefits for both UKRI and the suppliers from the outset of the DPS.
On average UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have a need to award approximately 2500 contracts annually cross all Lots. The average value of a contract placed under this agreement is between £3000 to £6000 GBP excluding VAT.
The Maximum value of the DPS for the full term is $40,000,000.
This is a new Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) that will replace the current one, which is set to expire on 28th February 2025. When submitting an application for the new lots, please note they can be differentiated by the reference number UKRI-3977.
This Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) agreement shall be in place for a period of 4 years commencing on 2nd December 2024 and concluding no later than 24th February 2029.

description:
Line blockage irregularities pose significant risks to the safety of track workers and the safe passage of trains. An analysis of line block irregularities in the Southern region has identified root causes in the quality of planning, plan validation, and plan execution.
The Southern region seeks a line blockage tool that enables signallers to rely on the capability and integrity of the signalling system to identify omissions in either the planning or execution of line blockages. This tool must demonstrably reduce the risk of line blockage irregularities through improved or simplified processes enabled by technology. It should validate planned protection limits relative to a given worksite to calculate the 'minimum protection requirements' and suppress route-setting commands that could compromise worksite safety.
The tool must be compatible with existing Network Rail line blockage systems and offer a user-friendly interface for operational deployment. It should also be modular, allowing for future functionality enhancements.
The desired outcome of deploying this system is a reduction in irregularities and an increased likelihood of delivering planned work efficiently and safely. To facilitate prompt rollout to the operational railway, any future procurement will prioritize tools that are substantially developed, have a clear route to ergonomic approval and product acceptance, or are already product approved.
The supplier of this tool must have a proven track record of delivering software and/or safety-critical systems within Network Rail, demonstrating an understanding of product acceptance, relevant safety authorization processes, and stakeholder acceptance.
Full product requirements are explained later in this document.
Project Objectives:
1.	Safety Enhancement:
o	Suppress route-setting commands that could compromise worksite safety.
o	Provide additional protection to reduce the risk of line blockage irregularities.
2.	System Integration:
o	Compatibility with multiple signalling interlocking systems.
o	Capability to function across multiple workstations.
3.	Operational Efficiency:
o	Deploy protection to the signaller's workstation with minimal process steps.
o	Store and manage a library of cyclical and pre-planned line blockages.
o	Provide an overview of all active and planned line blockages to signallers.
4.	User Interface and Ergonomics:
o	Design with ergonomics approval to minimize user interface risks.
o	Validate requests before deployment to the signaller's workstation.
5.	Modular and Extensible Design:
o	Modular structure to link or update additional functionalities.
o	Potential to link to Railhub or similar platforms.
6.	Emergency Management:
o	Capability to manage emergency requests and ensure safe system reset.
o	Provide appropriate alerts and system health indications.
Functional Requirements:
•	Suppress unsafe route-setting commands.
•	Integrate with multiple signalling interlocking systems.
•	Provide demonstrable additional protection and risk reduction.
•	Deploy protection with minimal process steps and a single command.
•	Store cyclical and pre-planned line blockages.
•	Validate planned protection limits to calculate minimum protection requirements.
•	Operate across multiple workstations.
•	Offer an overview of active and planned blockages.
•	Validate requests before deploying to the signaller workstation.
•	Ensure ergonomics-approved design.
Non-Functional Requirements:
•	System should be modular and easily extendable.
•	Capability to manage emergency requests.
•	Compatible with existing Network Rail line blockage systems.
•	Provide alerts, indications, and health status across workstations.
•	Safely reset after a failure.
Supplier Capability and Experience Requirements:
•	Demonstrate active development in relevant areas for rapid progression to deployment.
•	Present a realistic development and trial plan within CP7.
•	Proven track record in delivering software and safety-critical systems for Network Rail.
