Transport for London (TfL) has issued a Prior Information Notice on the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on behalf of the Greater London Authority (GLA). The issued Prior Information Notice is not a call for competition nor a part of a formal procurement process.

The main aim of this Prior Information Notice is to raise market awareness of a future requirement and to invite interested suppliers to attend an Early Market Engagement event on Monday 16th September 2019. The GLA is currently planning to undertake a procurement to appoint a single supplier for the provision of a multi-disciplinary technical assistance team, referred to as a Programme Delivery Unit (PDU), to take on the responsibility for providing specialist advice and services to deliver the RE:FIT London Programme (2019-2022).

Please see attached a copy of the Prior Information Notice which provides an overview of the requirement and instructions on how to book a place on the Early Market Engagement event.

The estimated value of a 30 month contract is 2 400 000 GBP to 3 000 000 GBP.

Terms of the Market Engagement TfL will manage this process in an open and transparent manner to maximise the possible benefits. Participation or non-participation in this Early Market Engagement will not preclude companies or disadvantage/advantage any company's ability to participate in any future procurement activity.

Direct or indirect canvassing of any GLA or TfL employee or agent by any company concerning this requirement, or any attempt to procure information from any TfL employee or agent concerning this Prior Information Notice outside of the formal process described in this document may result in the disqualification of the company from consideration of any future procurement activity. No information contained in this document or in any communication made between TfL and any company in connection with this shall be relied upon as constituting a contract, agreement or representation that any contract shall be offered in accordance with this Prior Information Notice.

At this stage there is no guarantee that this Prior Information Notice will lead to subsequent procurement activities for this requirement. If you are interested in attending the Early Market Engagement event on the afternoon of Monday 16.9.2019 please send a message to the Project Team via the ProContract portal as soon as possible providing the name(s) and job title(s) of up to a maximum of two (2) people to attend on behalf of your organisation.
