Commercial Exploitation of Transport for London's Common Operational View and Incident Management System (COV IMS)

TfL is seeking information from the potential market of suppliers able to commercially exploit this TfL owned software on TfL's behalf. Interested suppliers will be able to view and respond to a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ). TfL is issuing this PIN to invite responses from the market, with a view to gaining a better understanding of different commercial approaches to a potential future arrangement for exploitation, as well as understanding the scale of the opportunity for exploitation. This MSQ is a standalone exercise intended to inform TfL as described above. As such, it does not form part of any procurement process. This MSQ should not be read as committing TfL to carrying out a procurement process. TfL reserves the right but is not obliged to carry out a procurement process in the future. If TfL were to decide to hold a procurement process for the purposes of this or any related opportunity then the market will be informed accordingly, including via a notice on Find a Tender (https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search). For the avoidance of doubt, if TfL carry out a procurement process, any responses to this MSQ will not be considered as part of any pre-qualification or tender stage. Additional information: This MSQ is a standalone exercise intended to inform TfL as described above. As such, it does not form part of any procurement process. Please see section II.2.4 of this PIN and the MSQ for further details. This MSQ is on the pro-contract portal which can be found a https://procontract.due-north.com/Opportunities/Index look for transport for London.
