## Description
Transport for London (TfL) is seeking Service Providers for the provision of cartography services.
The Print Customer Information Team within the Customer Information, Design and
Partnerships (CIDP) team in TfL delivers customer information for the entire TfL network, of
which mapping products make up a significant proportion of published pieces.
TfL intends to commence a procurement process for the creation of a Framework Agreement
which will feature Lots relevant to various cartography requirements. The intended Lot
structure is listed below:
Lot 1: Bus Customer Information
Lot 2: Tube and Rail Including Licensing
Lot 3: Legible London  & Cycle Hire Docking Stations
Specific Lot requirements will vary but will involve the creation of new maps within existing
and new styles as well as updates/ amendments to existing maps. A full breakdown of the
scope of services required will be included within the tendering documents.
The following services are out of scope:
- Printing of any artwork, mapping or designs.
- Design of published items without any mapping element or where the majority of the work is
design of non-mapping elements.
Although the majority of requirements utilising the Framework Agreement will stem from TfL
business units, Crossrail, London and Partners and other Greater London Authority Functional Bodies may make use of the Agreement.
