What the notice says
Transport for London (TfL) is conducting Preliminary Market Engagement with suppliers who can deliver services relating to London's Concessionary Travel System Development and/or Card Fulfilment/Bureau services.
Available to suppliers at this stage of the engagement process, are 2 documents. First, a Market Brochure which provides information around TfL's current delivery of the Concessionary Travel Scheme and second a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ), which is the format in which suppliers can respond to this notice. Please note, this is not a call for competition. To obtain these documents please reach out to reecechasey@tfl.gov.uk.
TfL is currently solution agnostic and has not defined a procurement route, the purpose of this process is to help inform TfL's strategy to deliver the outcomes of the requirements.
