The new Desktop Simulator Solution is to be used to train new S-train drivers in basic Education, as well as yearly follow-up training for all S-train drivers. The Simulated Environment of the Solution shall prioritize functional fidelity and be able to simulate part of the infrastructure (as Simulated Train Front View), parts of the train (as Simulated Control and Instrument Panel) and parts of the training material (as Simulated Training and Exercise Scenarios) with the functional and physical fidelity defined in appendix 3, Requirement specification. The Solution shall also support DSB’s creation of own Simulated Training Exercises and Scenarios. The Solution should cover the development of a full-stack Solution of Software and Hardware in collaboration with the Customer, possibilities for Further Development, as well as the Support and Maintenance of the Solution and related Services for the duration of the Contract period.

      Frontruder til S-tog

      DSB søger en leverandør til en 8-årig rammeaftale om levering af frontruder til S-tog samt tilhørende sikkerhedsfolie, med mulighed for udvikling og tilretning af ruderne, hvis nye krav eller standarder gør det nødvendigt. Den maksimale totalværdi for aftalen er 15 millioner DKK, og leverancerne skal ske til Østsjælland. Behovet skyldes, at DSB ikke har haft en aftale om frontruder siden 2022, og den nuværende lagerbeholdning er ved at være opbrugt, hvilket gør aftalen nødvendig for at sikre den fortsatte togdrift frem til 2040. Tilbud vil blive evalueret ud fra pris (50%), kvalitet (30%) og leveringssikkerhed (20%). Som kvalifikationskrav skal ansøgere dokumentere op til 3 sammenlignelige referencer inden for leverance af ruder til togindustri og andre køretøjer udført inden for de seneste 5 år, samt have en gennemsnitlig årlig omsætning på mindst 9 millioner DKK og en gennemsnitlig EBIT-margin på mindst 1,5% inden for de seneste 3 regnskabsår.
