    Brief

    Network Rail seeks experienced technical advisors to provide specialist support for the European Train Control System (ETCS) implementation across the UK rail network. The role involves supporting Network Rail's oversight of the Industry Partnership Digital Railway (IPDR) programme by managing technical queries, processing clarification requests, and refining system requirements. Advisors should demonstrate strong technical knowledge of ETCS specifications, rail signalling systems, and the ability to work collaboratively with industry partners. This is an operational support contract requiring advisors to serve as an internal 'engine room' function, handling the volume of ongoing clarifications and requirements refinement needed for successful ETCS adoption. Suppliers should have proven experience with railway modernization programmes, ETCS deployment, and the ability to provide both technical guidance and commercial advice on implementation matters.
