Contract Summary
This procurement is being undertaken by Transport for London (TfL) on behalf of London Underground Limited (LUL). The primary objective of TfL's Solar Private Wire project is to enable TfL to directly receive zero-carbon electricity from decentralised sources, reducing the carbon emissions associated with its operations. The project is primarily focused on private wire connections to new-build solar photovoltaic generation. The contracting authority (LUL) is seeking to appoint an economic operator (a 'Delivery Partner') with whom it can work collaboratively in order to deliver solar private wire projects within reasonable proximity to the London Underground network. Opportunities may also extend to connections into the broader TfL estate. The arrangement will take the form of a single supplier framework agreement, allowing for individual projects to be subsequently 'called-off' (i.e. negotiated and contracted for via a private/direct wire Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)). The framework agreement will be for a duration of four (4) years, with an option to extend for up to a further four (4) years; the option to execute any extension, and the increments by which this is exercised, will be at LUL's sole discretion. The contracting authority (and the party to the framework agreement) will be LUL. In addition to LUL, other members of the TfL Group may call-off from the framework agreement. In this case the relevant TfL entity will be the contracting entity who will be party to the PPA. Where LUL is mentioned in this contract notice, it may also incorporate other members of the TfL Group in its meaning. The number of PPAs that may be entered into is not fixed or limited and the anticipated length of any PPA under the framework is approximately 25 years (subject to the specific nature of site). The activities that LUL envisages the Delivery Partner will undertake include (but are not limited to): (a) preparing, developing and submitting a strategy that outlines potential sites upon which solar farms may be developed (including the identification of suitable sites corresponding to the land classification (i.e. greenfield, brownfield etc.)) and developing project proposals from sites identified; (b) obtaining all relevant approvals, consents and permissions from the relevant authorities and third parties (as applicable) in relation to any site that is to be taken forward as a solar farm; and (c) provided that certain contractual requirements are met, undertaking necessary activities in order to design, construct, operate and maintain the solar farm and related connection assets. Additional associated services that LUL may request from the Delivery Partner include (but are not limited to): (a) battery storage opportunities related to the installed solar arrays; and (b) services and products related to the optimisation of generation and efficiency of the installed solar arrays.

Contract Summary
The objective of TfL's Solar Private Wire project is to enable TfL to directly receive zero-carbon electricity from decentralised sources, reducing the carbon emissions associated with the operation of the London Underground network. The project is focused on direct connection to new-build solar photovoltaic generation. TfL is conducting this early market engagement exercise for TfL's Solar Private Wire project to detail TfL's intended strategy prior to going to market, and to invite feedback on the proposed approach via a questionnaire. A prospectus document and draft technical materials are currently available via TfL's e-tendering portal, and TfL intend to conduct a series of 1-2-1 sessions with a selection of respondents following the deadline for response to the questionnaire, which is 5PM on 3rd May 2023. If you would like to gain access to the documents to express your interest and submit a response to the questionnaire, please contact JasmineMoss@TfL.gov.uk and GlynLenton@TfL.gov.uk. If you have already done business with TfL since our switch to our new sourcing system, SAP Ariba, you will be added to the event for full access to the documents. If you have not worked with us since the switch, please self-register at the below link and contact us once you have submitted the form. https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfRegistration?realm=TfL
