## Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 09 February 2023 for the following reason: Extension to EOI submission deadline to 3 pm on Friday 17 February 2023 as requested by suppliers\.\(Expression of Interest \(EOI\) for Future of SMIS: Integration Layer Project - RSSB is seeking to obtain market feedback in relation to the high-level business requirements for the Future of SMIS: Integration Layer Project\. The Authority has not specified a format for the detailed response as this can limit creativity and make it difficult to understand\. Organisations are therefore freely available to present information in their desired format\. Business Context •The Safety Management Information System \(SMIS\) is the railway's national database for recording and analysing safety-related events\. •Data is currently entered using a suite of web-based forms or sent via API from other applications\. •The data collected enables rail companies, safety managers and accident investigators to understand and reduce safety risks, and RSSB to generate data insights for the industry\. •RSSB is looking to replace the current solution with a modern data platform\. Offering alternative front-end interfaces, a universal integration layer, and AI driven data quality processes\. •The objective of this work is to design and assure the solution and data architecture to achieve this overall ambition\. •RSSB currently has a data platform hosted in Azure which this would need to align to\. This uses FastAPI, Airflow, PostgreSQL, and Power BI\. •Part of the technical solution is to have an integration layer to connect front end applications to our Azure data platform, expanding from the current API solution\. •This integration layer needs to be highly available, performant, easy to maintain, versioned, and capable of handling data model changes\.\) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises \(SMEs\)\. However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement\.
