This initiative aims to address driver fatigue and health issues identified in London’s public transport sector. The challenge is open for responses until 23:59 on 8 April 2021, with innovative solutions being sought to reduce incidents of driver fatigue and enhance overall wellbeing. The procurement is categorized under marketing services, reflecting TfL's focus on health promotion and disease management for bus drivers in the London region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health, wellness, and innovation, particularly service providers familiar with developing solutions aimed at improving workforce wellbeing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this competition particularly beneficial, as novel and scalable proposals are highly encouraged. By participating, businesses can contribute to a notable initiative while potentially securing contracts with the TfL, thus fostering growth and expansion in a vital industry. ## Notice * Fatigue is thought to be a contributing factor for road traffic collisions in London, with 21% of surveyed London bus drivers stating that they have to fight sleepiness at least 2-3 times a week. * Health and wellbeing was highlighted as an area to build on in the UCL report commissioned by TfL looking into the death of bus drivers as a result of COVID 19 TfL and the operators want to improve engagement with health promotion initiatives and uptake of interventions to manage diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease as well addressing known issues around wellbeing for drivers. As such, we are looking for innovative solutions that can reduce incidents of driver fatigue occurring and/or improve driver's health and wellbeing. Novel solutions which can achieve the objective and scale are to be the main focus of this innovation competition If you are interested in applying, please complete a short questionnaire, by clicking here https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v2W9H-9d6k6mkqCJwlU0a8jz-I6KvgVGk8q5VoUKgctUNExURzAxVVI3T1pOSkE3RzNVUEFUSDlOTC4u ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78417dfd-9ea8-4c62-b7f1-ac9bcaf4dbd2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Apr 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 8NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | Borough & Bankside | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79342000 - Marketing services ## Release History - 23 Mar 2021 at 10:20 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78417dfd-9ea8-4c62-b7f1-ac9bcaf4dbd2 - 2 Mar 2021 at 16:43 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1bcb019e-19dd-43e6-904e-16f11980c036 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/78417dfd-9ea8-4c62-b7f1-ac9bcaf4dbd2 23rd March 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1bcb019e-19dd-43e6-904e-16f11980c036 2nd March 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v2W9H-9d6k6mkqCJwlU0a8jz-I6KvgVGk8q5VoUKgctUNExURzAxVVI3T1pOSkE3RzNVUEFUSDlOTC4u Questionnaire is accessible via the link ## Notice URLs - https://tfl.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
