Road transport services

Tender description

To ensure that the TfL's Underground works consistently, getting customer service staff, train drivers, signal engineers and service control to their place of work when there is reduced transport system (i.e. from midnight to 6.00 a.m.) is of vital importance. A staff travel service has been in operation for approximately 30 years which carries London Underground staff to their starting place of work and to return them from the end place of work to a drop off point closest their home. To ensure that the TfL's Underground works consistently, getting customer service staff, train drivers, signal engineers and service control to their place of work when there is reduced transport system (i.e. from midnight to 6.00 a.m.) is of vital importance. A staff travel service has been in operation for approximately 30 years which carries London Underground staff to their starting place of work and to return them from the end place of work to a drop off point closest their home. The current staff travel service operates across the network of Tube stations, with the majority of the service running alongside the tube lines routes (on the road) with multiple connections i.e. Oxford Circus — Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines. If staff are not present at their place of work by the required time this has a major knock on effect on London's Underground system with trains cancelled or delayed or not running or delayed and stations not opening. This has major financial implications and affects TfL customers. TfL are holding a early market engagement exercise consisting of a market sounding questionnaire and a data-pack for respondents to provide their potential response to a representative day of travel. Please contact StaffTravelProcurement@tfl.gov.uk to be a part of this exercise. Please also register to ProContract in order to directly engage TfL over this opportunity and other tendering opportunities.
