What is being bought
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity for future services for providing tickets to London's main visitor attractions, theatres, and sightseeing tours. The tickets will be sold by TfL staff via TfL's five visitor centres as detailed below. It is a market awareness exercise to share information on a potential procurement, to engage with the market on the scope and approach and to enable TfL to determine the detailed design of the procurement and commercial process. The purpose is to test the market appetite, generate market interest, and to gain a better understanding of the capability and capacity of suppliers. This activity is focusing on the market as a whole, rather than the merits of individual suppliers. It includes no element of supplier selection or bid evaluation. There is no commitment of any kind inferred by either party.
