Transport Asset Holding Entity of New South Wales / Professional Services - Scope and Cost Definition Study and Financial Model ATP Program - 09/04015

The Automatic Train Protection (ATP) Program is a major

RailCorp initiative that seeks to improve network safety

and reliability. The European Train Control System (ETCS)

Level 1 was selected as RailCorp’s preferred ATP

technology and following a successful Pilot Trial, the

RailCorp board approved funding for the Design and

Planning phase of the ATP Program.

A key objective of the ATP Design and Planning phase is

to define the scope of works and cost for rolling out ETCS

Level 1 across the RailCorp network and fleet and to build

a flexible Financial Model that allows for multiple options

analyses. These pieces of work will form a significant input

to the Business Case for Government funding approval.

RailCorp is seeking to engage a Professional Services

Provider (single suitably qualified firm or a consortium) to:

• undertake a Scope and Cost Definition Study;

• build a flexible Financial Model; and

• conduct a Risk Assessment.

In essence, the Service Provider will be required to “stand

in the shoes” of a potential tenderer for the rollout works

and prepare a fully costed, transparent, cost effective

“quote” for each individual works package.

To gain access to the Request For Tender documents,

tenderers are required to register their interest by sending

an email to procurement@railcorp.nsw.gov.au enclosing

the following: 1) Company Name 2) ACN/ABN Number 3)

Contact Name 4) Postal address 5) Email address.
