two.1.4) Short description

Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to alert the market to a future tendering opportunity relevant to the provision of cartography services.

The Print Customer Information Team within the Customer Information, Design and Partnerships (CIDP) team in TfL delivers customer information for the entire TfL network, of which mapping products make up a significant proportion of published pieces.

TfL intends to commence a procurement process for the creation of a Framework Agreement which will feature Lots relevant to various cartography requirements. The intended Lot structure is listed below:

Lot 1: Bus Customer Information

Lot 2: Tube and Rail

Lot 3: Legible London, Cycle Superhighway Totem Mapping & Cycle Hire Docking Stations

Specific Lot requirements will vary but will involve the creation of new maps within existing and new styles as well as updates/ amendments to existing maps. A full breakdown of the scope of services required will be included within the tendering documents.

The following services are out of scope:

- Printing of any artwork, mapping or designs.

- Design of published items without any mapping element or where the majority of the work is design of non-mapping elements.

Although the majority of requirements utilising the Framework Agreement will stem from TfL business units, Crossrail and other Greater London Authority Functional Bodies may make use of the Agreement.

The Invitation to Tender is currently expected to be issued to the market towards the end of February 2022, with the intention to award the Framework Agreement by July 2022. Tender documents will be made available through TfL's e-tendering system - ProContract (https://procontract.due-north.com).

TfL are keen to understand the market appetite. Consequently, if you are interested in bidding for this opportunity, please express your interest via ProContract. Please search for the project using the following reference: DN594381.

Please note: the absence of an expression of interest will not impact the ability of a supplier to bid for this opportunity nor influence the tender evaluation process.
