Research Ideas
If you have a specific idea for a research project - whether you are from the railway industry, a potential supplier, or a member of the public - please complete an R&D Idea Form and email it to research@rssb.co.uk. Please note that any research idea may be the subject of competitive tendering.
Research Ideas List
The research ideas list is presented as a record and status report. It is provided so that you can hone your own research proposals. We hope that by having a better understanding of past decisions you will be able to define more accurately, proposals that have a high likelihood of being taken forward and ultimately of having their findings implemented. We understand the amount of effort that goes into developing a good research proposal and a sound business case, and want to ensure that your efforts are as well directed as possible, so that precious resources are not wasted.
One thing that the ideas list is not, is an invitation to tender. All ideas that are taken forward are managed under industry-agreed governance and processes. Invitations to tender are issued to selected suppliers based on their expertise and experience as it is judged relevant to the details of the proposal with which RSSB is presented. As copyright in the text of the ideas lies with the originator we are not able to distribute any further information about the proposal; nor do we have the resources to respond to enquiries about specific proposals.
