What is being bought

Transport for London (TfL) is undertaking a strategic review of its Transport Modelling tools and processes. TfL currently uses a wide range of Transport Modelling tools across various modelling disciplines. Transport Modelling within TfL is largely carried out by our Public Transport Service Planning, Strategic Analysis and Network Performance Delivery teams. The tools support TfL's ability to conduct Cycling Assignment Modelling, Multi-Modal Variable Demand Modelling, Agent Based Pedestrian Simulation modelling and Public transport assignment modelling. This preliminary market engagement activity seeks to better understand the technology solutions available in the market.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Transport systems consultancy services (71311200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 713,3563 median · 31.7 average (842 of 3,356 with a bid count)3.7 average (937 of 3,356 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)2696 median · 7 average (5 of 269 with a bid count)1.2 average (5 of 269 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
