Your insight and experience will help inform a procurement and contractual model that is deliverable, collaborative, innovative and aligned with the long-term needs of Devon’s residents, communities and businesses.

As part of TfW's approach to decarbonisation of the Welsh bus fleet, early supplier engagement is sought to support the development of a strategy for bus depot EV infrastructure installation, management and ownership. The strategy aims to plan and standardise TfW's approach to charging infrastructure in bus depots. Having subject matter experts support on the development of this work will ensure that TfW and the market have worked in coordination to develop an achievable scope of work. Following NetZero objectives, TfW aim to incrementally decarbonise the national bus fleet. This will include having depot sites that can facilitate the operation and maintenance of battery electric buses across the country. Each of these depots will need to have sufficient charging infrastructure to ensure the fleet is operable. Currently, all infrastructure types are being considered for use.

Transport for London (TfL) is issuing a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice to obtain market feedback in relation to the Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. TfL invites suppliers to participate in this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to help shape the upcoming procurement opportunity. This is a valuable chance to engage with us early, gain insight into our requirements and contribute your expertise. This preliminary market engagement is targeting suppliers that can take on the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor role to undertake Detailed Design and Delivery of the Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. Also, this will determine the appetite for this project which has a complex location requiring compliance to environmental regulations and poses risks to the environment, confined spaces and explosions The primary focus of the Market engagement is to better understand the market, supplier appetite, capacity and capability, as well as perceived risks and opportunities in relation to the development and finalisation of the commercial strategy for TfL's Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. The engagement will also provide feedback and help to develop the procurement strategy for the Project's procurement. The Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining project is located at Greenwich Power Station which is a critical standby power facility operated by Transport for London (TfL). The station is fuelled by oil stored in five storage tanks, each housed in individual reinforced concrete bunds. These bunds, partially below ground level and situated close to the River Thames, are designed to contain any potential oil leaks, thereby preventing the risk of fuel oil seeping into the subsoil and ultimately into the river. The bunds have deteriorated over time and reached the end of their design life, posing a risk of environmental contamination. This necessitates a project to replace the lining of the five storage tank bunds with the addition of a reception tank bund and pump bund. This project aims to ensure the bunds' ability to contain oil in the event of a tank failure and compliance with environmental regulations. Full details on how to participate in this Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise are included in this notice.
