TfGM is seeking to procure a single contract to deliver a Tram Safety Improvement System
consisting of a Driver Vigilance Device (DVD) and a Tram Overspeed Prevention System
(TOPS). This could be one system that is able to deliver both functions or two separate
systems.
The contract itself will cover design, installation, testing and commissioning, with the
provision (at TfGM's discretion) for servicing and maintenance.
The requirements are driven by an RAIB recommendations report with the requirements to
be addressed by all UK Tram / Light Rail Networks.
The purpose of the TOPS is to satisfy the requirements of RAIB recommendation 3, extract
provided below:
“The intent of this recommendation is to prevent serious accidents due to excessive speed at
high risk locations on tramways. These locations are likely to include all locations where a
substantial speed reduction is required by trams approaching at relatively high speed…”
The purpose of the DVD is to satisfy the requirements of RAIB recommendation 4, extract
provided below:
“The intent of this recommendation is to reduce the likelihood of serious accidents due to
tram drivers becoming inattentive because of fatigue or other effects. Existing tram systems
relying on drivers applying forces to driving controls (driver safety devices) do not
necessarily detect an inattentive driver.

- Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents: 65
- Price: 35
- Successive reduction
- Candidates will be reduced successively across stages
- Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
