Currently, there is no efficient method for managing millions of data lines generated weekly from the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) on the Northern City Line, and the rest of the East Coast and North & East regions as they are deployed. The target is to have a diagnostic capability in place to optimise ETCS operations, predict failures, and enhance performance. The development of the diagnostic capability is seen as vital to gain a deeper understanding of ETCS operations, including system behaviour, performance metrics, and underlying factors contributing to disruptions. It also provides the capability to predict and proactively address system failures. Note that the delivery stage of the project is subject to PACE (Project Acceleration in a Controlled Environment) ## CPV classification IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support Software programming and consultancy services Industry specific software development services Programming services of packaged software products Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0528d5-2025-06-10T10:25:13+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0528d5-2025-06-10T10:25:13+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
