        "description": "Transport for London (\"TfL\") has commenced Preliminary Market Engagement (\"PME\") in respect of the proposed DLR Thamesmead Extension (\"TEX\") Programme. The intention is to establish appetite and to harness expertise from the industry to help develop a suitable strategy for delivering all the works comprised in this Programme. \nThe initial pre-procurement strategy at this stage anticipates a multi-stage procurement process with an early contractor involvement. To prepare the TEX Programme procurement strategy, TfL is seeking contributions from suppliers with experience in delivering works of a similar magnitude (scale and complexity) to that of the TEX Programme to assist in developing a suitable delivery model for delivering the works. In this respect, advice and suggestions on general buildability of the scheme, concept design, phasing, packaging and sequencing of works, contractual arrangements for the work packages will be invaluable to TfL.\nTfL has embarked on implementing a new delivery model to drive improvement, capture construction efficiencies to reduce cost, is seeking innovative techniques to reduce carbon to meet the net zero gain and improve whole life costs. \nIndustry Engagement\nDevelopment of the TfL Delivery Model has been supported by an Industry Day held on 2 December 2025 and a subsequent Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) in accordance with 'UK2: Preliminary market engagement notice - Procurement Act 2023 2025/S 000-071722 6 November 2025'. A summary output from this will be shared with the all PME participants.\nThis UK2 notice is being published to confirm the next stages of preliminary market engagement. This includes a further Industry Day to be held on 25 February 2026 and a MSQ to focus on the commercial and contracting model. TfL may opt to subsequently hold one-to-one sessions with a selection suppliers having the capability and experience for the scope of works or delivery model. Further details on timeframes and registration are provided below.        \nTfL e-Tendering\nFuture procurement events relating to the DLR Thamesmead Extension will be conducted using TfL's e tendering portal, SAP Ariba.  Interested parties are to register on SAP Ariba in the first instance.\nSAP Ariba Registration\nThe following instructions explain TfL's e-Tendering portal and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL in relation to this exercise.  If you have already registered previously on SAP Ariba and TfL's SAP Ariba, there is no requirement repeat steps (1) - (3) and proceed to step (4) below.\n(1) To register or to check if you are already registered to SAP Ariba, log on to https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw . Interested parties must read the instructions carefully before proceeding with registration.\n(2) Once you have registered on SAP Ariba (or are already registered), you must also register on TfL's SAP Ariba system through the following link https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfReigstration?realm=TfL \nGuidance on registering is available through the following link: here https://content.tfl.gov.uk/supplier-registration.pdf\n(3) Upon completion of steps 1 and/or 2, interested parties must email to: TEXPartnerSupport@tfl.gov.uk titling the email \"TEX Supplier Industry Day\" with the following details:\n•\tyour organisation name as registered in SAP Ariba;\n•\tyour applicable supplier ID associated with TfL in SAP Ariba, in the form of SM Vendor ID, or ERP ID, or AN ID, or ACM ID;\n•\tyour single point of contact registered on SAP Ariba; first name and surname;\n•\tyour email address registered with SAP Ariba; and\n•\tyour role in the organisation as registered with SAP Ariba. [end process]\nor \n(4) Where you have previously been submitted SAP Ariba registration details to TEXPartnerSupport@tfl.gov.uk, in accordance with the registration process set out in the earlier UK02: Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - Procurement Act 2023 (2025/S 000 071722, published 6 November 2025), please provide in an email to: TEXPartnerSupport@tfl.gov.uk, titling the email \"TEX Supplier Industry Day 2\":\n•\tthe date when the SAP ARIBA registration details were previously provided; and\n•\tconfirming your intention to attend the event.\nThese expressions of interest will then be administered using TfL's events management portal (CVENT).\nSuccessful completion of these steps will enable TfL to invite interested parties to future procurement events in SAP Ariba and register for attendance to the Industry Day.\nPlease contact Ariba_Supplier_Enablement in the first instance should you experience any problems with the portal for issues related to items 1 and 2 above.\nIndustry Day Registration:\nTfL invites suppliers interested in participating in this event to register on TfL's e Tendering portal, SAP Ariba (as referenced above), and to complete step (3) or/ step (4) no later than 17:00 on 18 February 2026.\nThis will enable TfL to consolidate these expressions of interest and, in turn, to issue individual invitations to each interested party to register their attendance at the Supplier Industry Day. The event invitation and registration process will be administered using TfL's events management portal, CVENT.\nTo manage expectations, attendance will be limited to a maximum of three (3) representatives per organisation.\nThe Supplier Industry Day is scheduled to take place on 25 February 2026, from 09:30 to 12:30, at The Cumberland, Great Cumberland Place, Marble Arch, London, W1H 7DL\nMarket Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) Details:\nThe MSQ will be issued by 27 February 2026 following the above Supplier Industry Day. The deadline for responses is 10 April 2026 at 17:00.\nIf you wish to be considered for inclusion into the one-to-one sessions, which will focus on the commercial and procurement model, your completed MSQ must be received by 17:00, 27 March 2026.  These sessions are currently planned between 13-30 April 2026 but this may be subject to change.\nThis Notice is for information only \nThis is a pre-procurement activity and does not imply any commitment to any future procurement process or at all. The purpose is to seek feedback on TfL's initial approach, appetite from industry and information on alternative solutions that are being developed in the marketplace for similar schemes. Participation in this PME and any subsequent engagements are not a prerequisite to, and will not prejudice, participation in any future competitive process. \nInformation relating to the nature and scope of the requirements, the estimated value and the list of CPV codes, is indicative of current thinking and is neither exhaustive nor binding and TfL reserves the right at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue of any further notices or at any other time. Additionally, any information contained in this notice and/or in any communication made between TfL and any supplier in connection with this notice should not be relied upon as constituting a contract, agreement, or representation that any contract will be offered as a result of this PME and/or any subsequent engagements. If TfL decides to progress with any procurement exercise for the Programme, TfL will publish a separate UK4 tender notice. \nTfL shall not be liable to any respondent for any costs whatsoever incurred in participating in this pre-procurement activity."

        "description": "Transport for London (\"TfL\") intends to undertake Preliminary Market Engagement (\"PME\") in respect of the proposed DLR Thamesmead Extension (\"TEX\") Programme. The intention is to establish appetite and to harness expertise from the industry to help develop a suitable strategy for delivering all the works comprised in this Programme.        \nThe initial pre-procurement strategy at this stage anticipates a multi-stage procurement process with an early contractor involvement. To prepare the TEX Programme procurement strategy, TfL is seeking contributions from suppliers with experience in delivering works of a similar magnitude (scale and complexity) to that of the TEX Programme to assist in developing a suitable delivery model for delivering the works. In this respect, advice and suggestions on general buildability of the scheme, concept design, phasing, packaging and sequencing of works and contractual arrangements for the work packages will be invaluable to TfL.  \nTfL has embarked on implementing a new delivery model. This will drive improvements, capture construction efficiencies, reduce costs, seek innovative techniques to reduce carbon and improve whole life costs. \nIt is anticipated that this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) will include a Supplier Industry Day and a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ). TfL may opt to subsequently hold one-to-one sessions with a selection of respondents assessed as having the capability and experience for the scope of works based on their MSQ responses.  \nTfL may opt to conduct further Preliminary Market Engagement in the form of additional Supplier Industry Days or further MSQs. In this case, TfL will issue a further UK2: Preliminary Market Engagement Notice.\nTfL e-Tendering \nThis Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is being managed electronically on TfL's e-Tendering portal SAP Ariba. Interested parties should register on SAP Ariba in the first instance. \nSAP Ariba Registration \nThe following instructions explain TfL's e-Tendering portal and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL in relation to this exercise. \n(1) To register or to check if you are already registered to SAP Ariba, log on to https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw . Interested parties must read the instructions carefully before proceeding with registration. \n(2) Once you have registered on SAP Ariba (or are already registered), you must also register on TfL's SAP Ariba system through the following link https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfReigstration?realm=TfL  \nGuidance on registering is available through the following link: here https://content.tfl.gov.uk/supplier-registration.pdf \n(3) Upon completion of steps 1 and/or 2, interested parties must email TEXPartnerSupport@tfl.gov.uk titling the email \"TEX Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise\" with the following details: \n- your organisation name as registered in SAP Ariba; \n- your applicable supplier ID associated with TfL in SAP Ariba, in the form of SM Vendor ID, or ERP ID, or AN ID, or ACM ID; \n- your single point of contact registered on SAP Ariba; first name and surname; \n- your email address registered with SAP Ariba; and \n- your role in the organisation as registered with SAP Ariba; \nPlease contact Ariba_Supplier_Enablement@tfl.gov.uk in the first instance should you experience any problems with the portal for issues related to items 1 and 2 above. \nCompletion of these steps will enable TfL to invite interested parties to the Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in SAP Ariba. TfL will issue the link for Supplier Industry Day registration and the Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) via this portal. \nTEX Supplier Industry Day: \nThe Supplier Industry Day is scheduled to take place on 02 December 2025 09:30 - 12:30 at 1, Park Crescent, London, W1B 1SH.\nSuppliers that are registered and form part of the Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in SAP Ariba (as per above instructions) will be issued with a link to register for Industry Day attendance via this portal. Suppliers are asked to complete the registration form before 5pm on 25 November 2025. Please note that a maximum attendance of 3 persons per respondent will be allowed. \nMarket Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ): \nThe MSQ will be issued via the Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in SAP Ariba by 5 December 2025 following the TEX Supplier Industry Day. The deadline for responses is 31 January 2026 at 6:00pm. This is 8 weeks following the Supplier Industry Day. \nThis Notice is for information only . This is a pre-procurement activity and does not imply any commitment to any future procurement process or at all. The purpose is to seek feedback on TfL's initial approach, appetite from industry and information on alternative solutions that are being developed in the marketplace for similar schemes. Participation in this PME and any subsequent engagements are not a prerequisite to, and will not prejudice, participation in any future competitive process.  \nInformation relating to the nature and scope of the requirements, the estimated value and the list of CPV codes, is indicative of current thinking and is neither exhaustive nor binding and TfL reserves the right at its absolute discretion to amend it at the time of issue of any further notices or at any other time. Additionally, any information contained in this notice and/or in any communication made between TfL and any supplier in connection with this notice should not be relied upon as constituting a contract, agreement, or representation that any contract will be offered as a result of this PME and/or any subsequent engagements. If TfL decides to progress with any procurement exercise for the Programme, TfL will publish a separate UK4 tender notice.  \nTfL shall not be liable to any respondent for any costs whatsoever incurred in participating in this pre-procurement activity. "
