Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) has initiated a planned procurement process with the issuance of a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) titled "Lateral Optimised Geometry for Buses." This engagement, classified under the road transport services category (CPV 60100000), is designed to solicit market feedback about innovative solutions to improve deflection and reduce the risk of run over incidents involving vulnerable road users (VRUs) by enhancing vehicle front skirting or run-over protection for buses. The area of interest is within the UKI region, and interested suppliers are invited to complete the questionnaire by noon on 20 September 2024. This stage is the 'Planning' phase of the procurement process, which aims at gathering critical industry insights.

The MSQ represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle safety systems, engineering solutions for public transport, or innovative protective technologies. By participating, businesses can influence upcoming procurement specifications, positioning themselves as potential suppliers when the official tender process begins. Companies with robust R&D capabilities, a track record in road safety innovations, or expertise in manufacturing protective equipment for public transport are particularly well-suited to contribute and benefit from the visibility gained in this market engagement exercise.
