two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The aim of this MSQ is to better understand the market interest and capability, and to gather market feedback regarding zero - emission (electric) vehicles, that will serve the purposes of DaR operations.

This is not a call for competition. It is being used as a medium for Transport for London to carry out market engagement, identify interested parties that have the potential to meet the requirements and better understand market capabilities.

This PIN is issued solely for the purposes of market engagement. No information contained within this PIN, or provided during and for this, or any other, market engagement exercise, constitutes any commitment by TfL or any member of the TfL group or any of their stakeholders to undertake any procurement exercise in the future.

Please note that the requirements outlined in this document are not exhaustive and are subject to change. The main technical, structural and design related elements have been outlined, along with the minimum requirements attached to them.

Interested parties should also note that whilst these requirements most closely relate to a minibus-type vehicle, other options will still be taken into consideration provided that they meet the minimum requirements outlined in this document. For example, a smaller vehicle that may not allow for entry / exit from the rear may be considered.

Any clarifications are to be addressed to madeleineshermer@tfl.gov.uk
