The Object of Procurement is a delivery of a forecasting and optimisation system for rail traffic (Enne) customised to Client's needs, inclusive of system maintenance and training and consultation regarding operations development.
Due to the procurement timetable schedule and the existing need, the system sought should be an existing product adaptable to Finland's circumstances, supplied by a Supplier that has the capability to support introduction of the system and contribute to the development of operations. Finland's rail network has a number of special characteristics, including an extensive network of which more than 90 % consists of single-track lines, a busy commuter traffic system in the Helsinki metropolitan area, shared use of track by passenger and freight traffic, and disruptions due to weather conditions (slipperiness due to autumn leaves and snowfall).
The Enne system comprises four logical components: running time calculation, resource conflict detection, resource conflict resolution and plan publication. ‘Running time calculation’ refers to the forecasting of the running of an individual train, based on timetables, network topology, geometry and restrictions. A resource conflict arises when two different parties reserve the same section of track at the same time, for instance because of a timetable deviation. Conflict resolution involves timetable coordination in operations in order to maximise punctuality. In ‘Plan publication’, the new operational plan created to resolve a conflict is communicated to those who need to know (Appendix 10.2en Enne functional areas).
The Object of Procurement shall be delivered in two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. Client reserves the right to commission Phase 2 as an option, which the eventual Supplier undertakes to deliver by responding to this call for tenders. Client shall decide whether to exercise the option to commission Phase 2 after evaluating Phase 1. Exercising the option shall be at the sole discretion of Client. More in Appendix 5en Object of procurement.
Client reserves the right to commission Phase 2 as an option, which Supplier undertakes to deliver by responding to this invitation to tender. Exercising the option shall be at the sole discretion of Client.
If Client decides to exercise the option (Phase 2), the System Development Agreement shall be extended until 31.12.2018. More information at section II.2.14 Additional Information.
Phase 2 shall be an option, which Tenderer must offer. Client shall announce the exercising of the option one (1) month before the option is activated. For further information, see Appendix 5en Object of Procurement.
Client shall decide whether to exercise the option to commission Phase 2 after evaluating Phase 1. For further information, see Appendix 5en Object of Procurement.
All times given in the invitation to tender are in Finnish time (UTC +2) or, during daylight saving time, in Finnish daylight saving time (UTC +3).
