description
The objective of this project is to investigate how government and buyers in the railway sector abroad and in other industries in the UK utilise public procurement as a tool to support the uptake of innovation in a risk averse environment. Furthermore, the project aims at identifying, among these, good practices and assess their replicability in the GB rail sector, by providing a set of recommendations for the Department for Transport and other buyers to support them in implementing them.
- Scope
| In scope | Out of scope | ||
| • | Analyse how public procurement supports innovation in the rail sector in other countries (specified below) | ||
| • | Assess how public procurement supports innovation in the rail sector in other industries in the UK (specified below) | ||
| • | Identify and analyse good practices | ||
| • | Draft recommendations on their applicability in the GB rail sector | • | Funding programmes using grants and competitions |
- Methodology
It is recognised that suppliers may well be better placed to define the approach taken to deliver this work than RSSB, so RSSB does not wish to mandate a given approach. The following approach is therefore only a suggestion and for the suppliers' consideration.

| • | Rail (from other countries, see below) | ||
| • | Water | ||

| • | Energy |
The contractor will identify and collate BPs from the rail sector in the following countries:
| • | France | ||
| • | Germany | ||
| • | Italy | ||
| • | Spain | • | Austria |

BPs are expected to cover the full range of aspects that contribute to Innovation Capability at an Industry Level, as detailed in the table below.
