Indra Sistemas S.A
Indra Sistemas S.A was participating in the Train Control Systems Framework ITT as a new entrant to the UK rail market.
Project Overview
Network Rail established a multi-supplier National Train Control Systems Framework (TCSF) for the delivery of major railway enhancements and renewals, including ETCS and conventional signalling. The 10-year framework includes five suppliers and includes design, build and maintenance support services for either or both ETCS and conventional signalling, and maintenance for ETCS. Furthermore, Network Rail will support the development of the British signalling market and to encourage adoption of open interfaces.
Approach:
Indra Sistemas S.A was participating in the TCSF PQQ and ITT as a new entrant to the UK railway digital signalling market. We worked closely with Workstream Leads and SMEs to develop robust and detailed PQQ and ITT responses that demonstrate how Indra will introduce non-proprietary EULYNX technology to the UK railway and achieve Network Rail’s target Signalling Equivalent Unit (SEU) price.
During the PQQ phase, 9 responses were submitted, which included:
Product Development
Delivery into Operation on a Live Railway Environment
Design Management
Successful Integration
Maintenance, Reliability and Obsolescence
During the ITT phase, 11 responses were submitted, which included:
ETCS Product Development
Open Interfaces
Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS)
Innovations & Efficiencies
