Avanti West Coast's current train planning system is approaching end-of-contract. This project seeks to procure and implement a modern, future-proofed train planning solution that ensures continuity of service delivery, operational safety, and readiness for HS2 operations. The new system will integrate seamlessly with rostering and control platforms, enabling incremental enhancements aligned with the Digital Railway strategy. First are seeking bidders who can support delivery of the following objectives: • Deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) replacement for a train planning solution by February 2028. • Ensure integration with rostering and control systems to streamline operational workflows. • Enable future development roadmaps for automation, analytics, and AI-driven decision-making. • Have a full set of functionally rich software services, out of the box, to meet the requirements detailed in the ITT. • Have robust and proven technologies, built using modern services, software and platforms. • Can provide a flexible and scalable solution which can continue to operate seamlessly during peaks in demand for services. • Provide examples of similar successful implementations to at least this scale, within the UK rail sector. • Can demonstrate a high-level quality of service and change management delivery for similar services provided to other customers.
