Description

Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to alert the market to a future tendering opportunity relevant to the provision of cartography services. The Print Customer Information Team within the Customer Information, Design and Partnerships (CIDP) team in TfL delivers customer information for the entire TfL network, of which mapping products make up a significant proportion of published pieces. TfL intends to commence a procurement process for the creation of a Framework Agreement which will feature Lots relevant to various cartography requirements. The intended Lot structure is listed below: Lot 1: Bus Customer Information Lot 2: Tube and Rail Lot 3: Legible London, Cycle Superhighway Totem Mapping & Cycle Hire Docking Stations Specific Lot requirements will vary but will involve the creation of new maps within existing and new styles as well as updates/ amendments to existing maps. A full breakdown of the scope of services required will be included within the tendering documents. The following services are out of scope: - Printing of any artwork, mapping or designs. - Design of published items without any mapping element or where the majority of the work is design of non-mapping elements. Although the majority of requirements utilising the Framework Agreement will stem from TfL business units, Crossrail and other Greater London Authority Functional Bodies may make use of the Agreement.
