Tender description

As part of a determined effort to increase and maximise the value TfL achieves from its future investments, a new initiative to build more strategic, resource efficient and mutually beneficial long-term relationships with manufacturers and suppliers has been launched (Fit for Purpose Stations — FfPS).FfPS will result in a catalogue of products (a Kit of Parts or set of Common Components) that will demonstrate the most superior Whole Life Cycle Costs and Performance — for its given purpose — once installed on London's transport network. These products will be the ‘first choice’ products selected for use across the network and in most areas of the business will be ‘mandated for use’ (for as long as they continue to deliver the value TfL expects). Successful manufacturers and suppliers will be awarded a long-term framework contract(s) to supply TfL, which will be used wherever possible as long as TfL achieves the value it expects from its investments in products once installed in service.
