    Brief

    South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is seeking to appoint an Independent Competent Person to support Safety Verification activities for the renewal of the Sheffield Supertram Network, in compliance with the Railways and Other Guided Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006. This market engagement exercise aims to understand supplier capability, preferred contract arrangements, and cost expectations for these specialist services. The Sheffield Supertram is a 29km light rail network operating in South Yorkshire, England, comprising two fleets of 32 trams, 29km of tracks, 12 substations, one depot, overhead electrification, civil infrastructure assets, and signalling systems. Originally opened in 1994 and extended to Rotherham in 2018, the network is now operated by South Yorkshire Future Trams Limited (SYFTL) under a contract with SYMCA. Under ROGS regulations, both SYMCA (as Infrastructure Manager) and SYFTL (as Transport Undertaking) are Transport Operators with obligations to manage network safety. When new or modified infrastructure and vehicles are introduced, formal Safety Verification must be undertaken, requiring an independent competent person to support this process. SYMCA is now undertaking a significant asset renewal programme and requires specialist support to satisfy these safety verification obligations. This is a market engagement questionnaire exercise to inform procurement strategy. Interested suppliers should demonstrate relevant expertise and provide information on preferred contractual approaches and estimated service costs.
