This MSQ is issued by Transport for London (TfL) and is seeking market feedback to: • Understand what solutions exist and ready for implementation • Understand what technologies exist in other industries that might be applicable to this problem area • Gauge suppliers' interest, capabilities, and capacity to engage in a trial. If you have any questions regarding this PIN please contact: v_chrismargarido@tfl.gov.uk TfL have recently switched to a new sourcing system, SAP Ariba, meaning that TfL's processes are now different to those that suppliers may be familiar with. The following instructions explain this new system and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL and access the MSQ through the new system. For help on registering on the SAP Ariba system and for checking if your organisation already has an account please refer to https://content.tfl.gov.uk/supplier-registration.pdf In case of registration problems please contact Ariba_Supplier_Enablement@tfl.gov.uk Upon completion of registration, interested parties must inform the TfL lead via email (v_chrismargarido@tfl.gov.uk), in order that they can be invited to the event in Ariba. They will then have unrestricted and full access to the MSQ, free of charge through their dashboard when they login to Ariba at https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw. Any subsequent competitions shall also be run through SAP Ariba. Please can you express your interest by emailing v_chrismargarido@tfl.gov.uk by close of play 17th November 2023 to be gain access to the MSQ event.
