TELT has published two contract notices for project management support services to assist the project owner through to the commissioning of the Lyon-Turin railway line.
The first contract notice, open for submissions until June 19, concerns operational management support, technical assistance during the design and installation phases of the systems, and preparations for the operation of the cross-border section of the new rail link. It is divided into three lots, with a total estimated value of €62.2m:
- Operational Management Support for the integrated design, construction, and maintenance contract for the systems (Operational Site CO12). This service will provide support in supervising schedules, financial monitoring, and interface co-ordination, as well as in the organisation and administrative follow-up of the contract.
- Technical Project Management Support, which will provide engineering assistance during the design phase and oversee the installation of the railway and technical systems of the new line, including its two connections to the existing rail network.
- Support for future management and operation of the line is also planned, with the assistance of a shadow operator, or virtual infrastructure manager. They will be responsible for anticipating operational needs in order to optimise both the design and construction of the infrastructure. It will support TELT across several key areas: organising and training the operations teams, managing traffic operations, safety, asset oversight and maintenance, and defining the strategy for path allocation and the management of the two international stations.
The second contract notice, open for submissions until June 17, has an estimated value of €1.8m. It concerns economic consultancy services to support TELT on matters related to transport economics and socio-economic assessments in preparation for the operation of the infrastructure.
