To participate in this round of preliminary market engagement (PME), organisations are required to access and submit a response to a market sounding questionnaire (MSQ) via Microsoft Forms using this link: https://forms.office.com/e/dP6Cj7jCpC Please note that further preliminary market engagement may take place for this project, and TfL may conduct one to one discussions with organisations to explore and better understand their responses to the MSQ. If you would like to receive a pdf copy of this MSQ (for information purposes only (so you can review the background information and questions to determine whether you wish to complete the questionnaire in MS Forms) then please email Emma Milam (Commercial Manager) at emmamilam@tfl.gov.uk and Madeleine Shermer (Commercial Manager) at madeleineshermer@tfl.gov.uk Please note the deadline for submitting an MSQ response is 12pm (noon) on 1 May 2026 Additionally, if you wish to be added to TfL's mailing list for ZEF Charging Infrastructure, please email Emma Milam (emma.milam@tfl.gov.uk) and Madeleine Shermer (madeleineshermer@tfl.gov.uk). You will then be kept informed of further developments in relation to this project and notified if TfL conducts any future PME.",

        "title": "Zero Emission Fleet - Charging Infrastructure",
        "description": "In 2018 the Mayors Transport Strategy and London Environment Strategy set the ambitious target for London to be a net zero city by 2030. Transport for London (TfL) has a significant role to play in supporting the Mayor of London in achieving this, including transitioning the TfL support vehicle fleet. The TfL operational support fleet consists of c. 1000 vehicles, mostly vans of various sizes, operating across several TfL sites around London, including depots, tube stations, bus stations, offices, etc. The fleet size across these TfL site locations ranges from c. 1 vehicle to over 100 vehicles. The Zero Emission Fleet (ZEF) project aims to install c400 Electric Vehicle Charge Points (EVCP) by 2034. The main use of the support fleet is to facilitate maintenance across the network to ensure TfL operations and services always run smoothly. Due to the operational hours of TfL services, much of this work and vehicle usage is done overnight. Vehicle usage information being collated shows that there are battery electric vehicle (BEV) alternatives and suitable charging options on the market for most of the vehicles. Some large depots and others where emergency response vehicles are located may need a higher number of rapid EVCPs. Previous rounds of preliminary (early) market engagement for Zero Emission Fleet (ZEF) Charging Infrastructure have provided valuable insight to supplier capability, financial models (including supplier partial and full capital - funded delivery), and approaches to home-based charging and Charging-as-a-Service. To support TfL's continued development of a procurement strategy for the the ZEF Charging Infrastructure requirement there is a need to engage further with the market to gain insight in relation to back-office charge point management systems, maintenance services, and understanding the market's preferred delivery approach to procurement /contracting under a buyer (TfL) funded financial model. TfL is progressing this engagement by issuing a new market sounding questionnaire (MSQ) that specifically addresses these topics (please see section 1 of this Preliminary Engagement Notice for further details)",
