Summary of the contracting process

The Transport for London (TfL) is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "Camera Monitoring System (CMS) Retrofit", which falls under the category of transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation. This project aims to enhance safety on London’s roads in alignment with the Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS) focused on Vision Zero. A key milestone in this process is the engagement end date set for 31st December 2021, after which interested parties must submit their proposals. The total value of the project is estimated at £3.4 million, and delivery will take place within England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the technology and safety equipment sectors, particularly those specialising in camera systems and automotive safety solutions. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with relevant safety standards and possess the capability to retrofit existing bus systems are encouraged to participate. The CMS is an essential component of the overarching Bus Safety Standard, making this a strategic opportunity for firms looking to contribute to enhanced public transport safety while expanding their service offerings.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Camera Monitoring System (CMS) Retrofit

Notice Description

The Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS) sets out the Vision Zero goal of zero people killed or seriously injured (KSIs) on London's roads by 2041. It includes targets for a 70% reduction in KSIs by 2021 and for no one to be killed on or by a bus by 2030. The Bus Safety Standard (BSS) was launched in 2018 to help achieve the Vision Zero goal for buses. The BSS mandates the use of safer vehicles and supports safer behaviours and speeds, specifying safety requirements that new buses entering service in London must meet. The introduction of a Camera Monitoring System (CMS) onto buses in the London fleet is an essential component of the BSS and is therefore a key part of achieving Vision Zero and supports key objectives in the MTS. It is also an enabler and complementary feature for other measures in the BSS, notably Advanced Emergency Braking. Making roads that both are safer and feel safer is an objective of Healthy Streets; fewer collisions involving TfL's bus fleet will also improve down time and reduce operating costs, as well as wider impact of fewer overall collisions contributing towards less congestion generally, and improved reputation of London Bus operations. The Mayor's Transport Strategy (MTS) sets out under Vision Zero the goal of reducing the number of people killed in, or by, London buses to zero by 2030. The MTS specifically references the BSS as a key deliverable to significantly contribute to this target. CMS is part of BSS, which improves direct and indirection vision for the driver by reducing blind spots and improving hazard perception. It is a driver assistance safety measure designed to help the driver avoid or mitigate the severity of incidents and enables wider BSS measures. All new buses in TfL's fleet that have been contracted via our Bus Operators from 2021 onwards have CMS already installed. TfL, in partnership with bus operators, aims to retrofit a CMS to existing buses in the fleet, starting with routes that have the highest recorded number of incidents. We are still evaluating which vehicles in the London bus fleet are suitable for retrofitting CMS, and this will depend on cost, age of vehicles, and technical factors. The potential number of vehicles in scope to be retrofitted is up to 1,360 and is not anticipated to be any lower than 680. TfL is conducting early market engagement to help identify organisations who have a product which meets (or is capable of meeting) TfL's specification for a Camera Monitoring System (CMS) based on the performance specification which can be found in the associated Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ). Please see the details below for how to access the MSQ. Additional information: The MSQ can be accessed via TfL's e-tendering website ProContract (https://procontract.due-north.com). You will need to register on the portal to access the MSQ and once you have logged-in to ProContract you can search for the MSQ by using any one of the following key terms: 'Camera', 'Monitoring' or 'System' Interested parties will be required to submit relevant documentation including a technical specification, test methodology, reports and certifications to show how your product is able to meet (or has the potential to meet) our performance specification. Please note the deadline to submit an MSQ response is 5pm on 31st December 2021. A desk-based review will be undertaken by TfL on specific aspects of the submitted information (i.e. evidence to show UNECE Regulation 46 compliance, that the system is 'E' marked for automotive electromagnetic compatibility, evidence to show where it has been used in the automotive industry (including relevant approvals/certification from approved certification agencies) and the Ingress Protection (IP) rating, .This will help determine which products, on paper at least, could meet (or are capable of meeting) TfL's CMS requirements. Should TfL proceed to a procurement exercise for this project, the evaluation of potential products would form part of that exercise, including the need for rigorous testing of the products in controlled conditions in order to demonstrate that the products meet the specification, and can be successfully integrated with on-bus systems, across a range of bus types.
