Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Camera Monitoring System (CMS) Retrofit" is being conducted by Transport for London (TfL), primarily in the transport equipment industry, located in London, United Kingdom. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with the tender period scheduled to end on 24th December 2021. The initiative aims to support TfL's Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatalities and serious injuries on London roads by 2041, with a specific emphasis on enhancing bus safety. Interested parties are encouraged to engage early and submit their products for evaluation in response to the performance specifications outlined in the Market Sounding Questionnaire available through TfL's e-tendering platform.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport-related technology, particularly those capable of manufacturing or supplying advanced camera monitoring systems. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with international automotive regulations and provide robust safety features are well-positioned to compete. The projected retrofit scope for existing buses is considerable, involving up to 1,360 vehicles, making this a lucrative opportunity for firms looking to expand their footprint in the public transport safety sector.

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.

Lot Information

Lot 1

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). 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. 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.
