This is to ensure that tenderers are able to align their pricing with the Specification (which provides that tenderers' solutions can include equivalent meters) and accordingly better optimise their pricing to provide a solution that provides the best value for money for the Authority. The Authority recognises that tenderers may wish to amend their tenders in light of this amendment and for this reason has extended the Tender Deadline to 02 June 2023. To the extent that a tenderer might already have submitted a tender prior to this notification, it may resubmit its tender in the light of this notification, should it wish to do so, prior to the new Tender Deadline. The Authority again thanks tenderers for their hard work during this procurement and hopes that this amendment will assist them in constructing the optimum tender possible."

    "description": "TfL have recently switched to a new sourcing and invoicing system, SAP Ariba, meaning that TfL's processes are now different to those that economic operators may be familiar with. The following instructions explain this new system and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL and access the tender through the new system. 1. To register or to check if you are already registered to SAP Ariba, log on to https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw. Interested parties must read the instructions carefully before proceeding with registration. For help on using the SAP Ariba system, please refer to https://support.ariba.com/Adapt/Ariba_Network_Supplier_Training. If the problem persists please contact Ariba_Supplier_Enablement@tfl.gov.uk . 2. Once you have registered on SAP Ariba (or are already registered), you must also register on TfL's SAP Ariba system through the following link https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfRegistration?realm=TfL . 3. Upon completion of steps 1 and/or 2, interested parties must inform the TfL lead via email (tufailahmed@tfl.gov.uk) with the following details: - your single point of contact first name and surname; - your email address; - your position in the organisation; - your organisation name; and - your applicable vendor ID in order that the interested party can be invited to the event in SAP Ariba. You will then have unrestricted and full access to all available documents, free of charge through your dashboard when you login to SAP Ariba at https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw . Interested economic operators are to ensure that they accommodate sufficient time between requesting access to documents and tender receipt deadline. The Contracting Authority shall not be held responsible for any delay resulting in an economic operator's ability to prepare a satisfactory bid due to a late access request from interested economic operators. Furthermore, the Contracting Authority is under no obligation to accept any requests to extend the tender deadline. The contract (if any) resulting from this call for competition may be awarded by and may be for the benefit of TfL and/or any of its subsidiaries at any time. The Contracting Authority reserves the right to award the contract in whole or in part or not at all as a result of this call for competition. The Contracting Authority shall not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by any bidders in responding to this notice or in tendering for the proposed contract.",
