Transport for London is conducting a preliminary engagement to establish the availability and appetite of the market to supply a scalable, secure and standards aligned mobility data platform to support TfL's operational and regulatory requirements.
TfL have reviewed and consolidated its Micromobility data requirements into a broader, mode-agnostic platform requirement. This aligns with current and future operational needs rather than a single mode solution.
The revised requirement focuses on:
- Near real time API based data ingestion
- Support for recognised mobility data standards
- Secure cloud hosted architecture
- Role based access control and audit capability
- Analytical and visualisation functionality
- Scalability to accommodate additional vehicle and service types.
TfL require that participating organisations publicly position themselves as providers of:
- Shared mobility or urban mobility data platforms
- API based regulatory data aggregation services
- City authority facing mobility monitoring solutions
- Operate in the UK and internationally where they have an established public sector presence.
To participate in this exercise, TfL requires that providers must:
- Offer a configurable commercial 'off the shelf' software platform rather than consultancy only or development led services
- Support ingestion of operator data via standardised APIs
- Provide map based visualisation and dashboard functionality
- Have experience working with public authorities
- Operate a cloud hosted solution with defined security controls
Exclusions:
- Providers that focus solely on fleet operations, hardware provision, consultancy services or data resale.
