To do so, organisations will need to register on SAP Ariba via the following link: https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw . Please find more detailed steps on registering below. This exercise does not form part of any procurement process. All responses will be carefully considered but will not bind TfL to any particular approach, nor will responses be treated as conveying any promise or commitment on the part of the respondent. Any feedback received will be reviewed and may be considered in determining TfL's future approach to the procurement of PPAs. Responses will be treated in confidence by TfL and shared only with organisations supporting on our strategy (where these organisations are under contract and therefore subject to maintaining confidentiality). For your feedback to be considered, your completed MSQ must be received by 12:00pm (midday) on 6th April 2026. Following submission of MSQ responses, TfL may conduct 121 conversations with a number of responding organisations with a view to further informing the strategy going forward. The following instructions explain TfL's e-tendering portal and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL in relation to this exercise. (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.
