Suppliers Information Event (Market Engagement) for T1379: Validation and enhancement of train driver psychometric assessment, selection, and recruitment for modern train operations in GB Rail.
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Research & Development — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
RSSB has recently published the procurement project T1379: Validation and enhancement of train driver psychometric assessment, selection, and recruitment for modern train operations in GB Rail.
The appointed supplier will research aims to conduct a comprehensive validation study of the train driver selection process that is used in GB Rail by all rail companies that employ mainline train drivers.
This covers passenger operators, freight operators and infrastructure contractors.
It will focus on both the standardised and non-standardised elements of train driver selection and be separated into two distinct phases.
We consider a phase distinction to be important given the fundamental differences that exist between the two elements of train driver selection and the required outputs for each.
There will be a stage gate review between phase 1 and phase 2 to enable review and reflection of the findings and recommendations, considering any additions or adaptions to phase 2 before commencement.
Further information on the specification for the T1379 project can be found in the attached specifications.
