📋 Tender Overview
Framework agreement for the construction of complete systems, including software and hardware for the digital interlockings; first implementation of Signaling X in Switzerland
Ten-year contract with three options for five-year extensions, plus 25 years of maintenance and support
Comprehensive Siemens services ranging from development to training and maintenance
Siemens Mobility and Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) are driving the digitalization of interlockings in Switzerland and have signed a strategic framework agreement that provides the basis for a more modern and efficient rail system. With the Signaling X solution, interlocking logic is intelligently shifted to central data centers, ensuring that rail operations are digitalized from the ground up. The goal is to increase operational capacity and create a sustainable and highly efficient mobility infrastructure. The framework agreement covers the construction of digital interlockings, including hardware and software, as well as comprehensive services such as development, training, and support. The agreement has an initial term of ten years and can be extended three times for periods of five years each. In addition, the partners have agreed to 25 years of maintenance to ensure smooth and reliable operations. During the project, approximately 500 interlockings will be modernized and around 80 percent of the existing systems will be replaced over the next 20 years. Commissioning of the first interlockings is planned for 2029. In the course of the agreement, orders for the delivery of individual interlockings will be awarded on an ongoing basis.
