Description

Transport for London (TfL) is investigating the market to invite expressions of interest from relevant industry bodies to run a five year Concessionaire contract for the expansion and Business as Usual (BAU) communications function of the Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) programme. CLOCS has been a TfL funded, construction industry-led programme which aims to improve road safety across construction supply chains with a focus on reducing collisions between heavy and large goods vehicles and vulnerable road users. TfL is also requesting that interested parties provide information which will also be used to inform the procurement process for the award of this requirement and any future procurement processes. If determined appropriate TfL may, at its sole discretion, enter further discussions with respondents. The overall purpose of the CLOCS concessionaire activity is to grow the positive movement that has been generated throughout the construction industry to improve the safety of vulnerable road users. Any successful bidder will also have to show how they can expand and fund the CLOCS programme and its activities. The link to the MSQ will be available through Pro Contract: https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/AdvertSummary?projectId=f6908f...

Total Quantity or Scope

In response to the over involvement of construction vehicles in cyclist fatalities and to understand why, TfL commissioned the independent Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) report . The research, published in 2013, found that blind spots on these vehicles could be greater than general haulage vehicles, that the management of road safety lagged behind the management of workplace health and safety and that there was no common standard for the construction logistics industry to adhere to. The CLOCS programme was developed in 2013 to take forward the recommendations of the above research and revolutionise the management of work-related road safety within the sector. Whilst the original research was commissioned to look at issues relating to particular cycling incidents, it was quickly recognised that the safety of all vulnerable road users and wider improvements to safe HGV and other commercial vehicle operations was in scope. CLOCS aims to achieve a visionary change in the way the construction and other industries manage work related road risk. This has been implemented through two industry led workstreams and training, each addressing the original CLOCS report findings: • Workstream 1 (WS1): Improving vehicle safety through design and manufacture of safer new vehicles and fitment of appropriate safety equipment to existing vehicles and Addressing the safety imbalance in the construction industry through ensuring road safety is considered as important as health and safety on site • Workstream 2 (WS2): Encouraging wider adoption of best practice across the construction logistics industry through taking best in class examples, developing a common national CLOCS Standard for managing work related road risk (WRRR) and embedding a new cultural norm • CLP Training: Three one day courses, Foundation Level, Practionioner and Advanced. These training courses are offered to anyone interested in learning how to develop a CLP by the successful bidder.
