This tender, titled "Platform Edge Protection Technology", falls under the category of railway transport services. Key details include a submission deadline of 23 August 2021 and a focus on gathering market feedback to explore alternatives to traditional Passenger Edge Doors (PEDs). The engagement aims to identify lower-cost and more flexible technologies that can mitigate platform-train interface risks. Interested parties can request the Market Sounding Questionnaire by contacting TfL at platformedgeprotectiontechnology@tfl.gov.uk. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in safety technology, engineering, and consultancy services, particularly those with insights into railway safety or automation innovations. Companies that can offer reliable and cost-effective solutions for platform edge protection systems will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, especially as TfL is also considering the implementation of driverless train systems. Businesses looking to expand their operations in the transport sector should take note of this engagement as a strategic avenue for growth. ## Notice Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to obtain market feedback on technologies or systems that can mitigate platform-train interface (PTI) risks in the absence of Passenger Edge Doors (PEDs) segregating passengers from a moving, driverless*, train. TfL is currently working on a Department for Transport (DfT) led programme to consider the business case for driverless trains. The platform-train interface (PTI) is a key area of risk that can be mitigated by the inclusion of PEDs. This market engagement is aimed at understanding alternative platform edge protection technology or systems that could be implemented, in some locations, at lower cost than PEDs while offering more flexibility. Please request our Market Sounding Questionnaire by emailing platformedgeprotectiontechnology@tfl.gov.uk *Driverless but with an on-board attendant as on the Docklands Light Railway ### Lot Information Lot 1 Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to obtain market feedback on technologies or systems that can mitigate platform-train interface (PTI) risks in the absence of Passenger Edge Doors (PEDs) segregating passengers from a moving, driverless*, train.
