Opportunity Overview
RSSB is seeking to appoint a supplier to undertake research into the future management of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across the GB rail industry.
The project will assess gaps in existing engineering, safety, assurance, materials disclosure and waste-management processes; develop a proportionate approach for assessing PFAS-related emissions and waste impacts; and produce practical guidance for managing PFAS-driven change across the railway asset lifecycle. The guidance will be tested through three case studies, including the transition from aqueous film-forming foam to fluorine-free alternatives, and will support consistent, risk-informed decision-making across asset owners, operators, manufacturers, maintainers and the wider supply chain.
