Traffic Order Management & Enforcement

Tender description

TfL has a legal network management duty to secure expeditious movement of people and goods as set out in the Traffic Management Act 2004. One of the legal legislations underpinning TfL’s authority to manage and enforce traffic regulations is the Traffic Regulation Act 1984 using the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). NOTE: Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO) are also known as Traffic Orders (TO). TfL uses two platforms to generate and enforce Traffic Orders and Enforcement Zones: 1. Traffic Order Management System (TOMS) provide TfL with the digital capability to manage the TRO. TRO applications are submitted to TOMS which is then managed through the statutory approval process. 2. Maintenance Enforcement and Traffic Regulation Order System (METROS) was implemented in 2007 and allows us to map the TRO. TOMS interfaces with METROS which utilises the TRO to create Enforcement Zones. These Enforcement Zones are subsequently passed to specific Enforcement Platforms: Digital Traffic Enforcement System (DTES), and Parking Enforcement System (PES) via API. METROS is currently operating with end-of-life components. METROS relies on other systems to provide geospatial map data and enforcement asset location (CCTV and road signs) in the creation of Enforcement Zones Lot 1: Transport for London are looking to run an Early Market Engagement exercise with potential suppliers to understand and inform how Traffic Orders and Enforcement Zones and wider Traffic Order and Enforcement related processes can be managed end to end, whilst aligning with the broader TfL Technology strategy. The components that will be considered: - METROS - TOMS In addition, we need to consider how the potential platform integrates to our strategic asset and fault system, strategic GIS platform, CCTV enforcement systems, other related operational platforms and its mobile app capability The purpose of this exercise is to understand how we deliver operational efficiencies whilst removing duplications. Part of the consideration will include whether a single solution will better meet the needs of the organisation and deliver cost efficiencies. In the coming weeks those who express their interest may be invited to take part in a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ). Following the MSQ, TfL may invite selected suppliers to give demonstrations and have 1-2-1 discussions to explore service offerings and affirm our requirements. These sessions would be used solely for market engagement purposes only, they would not impact any tender process and will not be evaluated.
