ICT13550: Procurement of Countdown 3 (CD3) Sign, Supply, Install and Maintenance

• Value: £12M

The Countdown 3 (CD3) Procurement will be separated as follows:  Lot 1: Sign Supply, Installation and Maintenance  Lot 2: Sign Supply, Installation and Maintenance TfL envisage that Lot 1 and Lot 2 will account for approximately fifty percent (50%) of the total volume of Signs on which TfL requires the Passenger Information Sign Services to be installed and maintained (which TfL considers will equate to approximately 1350 Signs for each of Lot 1 and Lot 2). The estimated value of Lot 1 is £9,000,000 to £12,000,000. TfL currently envisage the scope of the CD3 procurement includes: Core requirement/ Business as Usual (BAU)  A technical refresh (conversion) of all existing Countdown 2 (CD2) Signs to take data directly from the Real Time Information (RTI) Application Programming Interface (API) and the iBus2 Back Office Service RTI API when it is available. Note this is not a wholesale replacement of all 2700 CD2 Signs, although it is assumed 10% (270 CD2 Signs) will need to be replaced in their entirety.  Replacement of existing SIMS in the CD2 Signs with SIMS to facilitate the transition to the new Corporate Mobile Communications contract which is currently being procured.  Support and maintenance of all existing CD2 Signs.  Support and maintenance of other existing real time passenger information (RTI) signs across the TfL estate (such as Network Management variable message signs, some London Underground signs and Wonderwalls digital displays); and  Supply, installation, support, and maintenance of future signs including new sign types to support the Mayoral Transport Strategy. Optional Future requirements  Supply, installation, and maintenance of new displays, and other displays included in the scope (such as Network Management, LU (London Underground) and DLR (Docklands Light Railway) displays). The CD2 Back Office will be provided as part of the iBus2 Back Office currently being procured under the iBus2 Procurement (ICT13013), so is not within scope of CD3. Following the technical refresh, the CD2 signs will receive arrival predictions from the RTI API until the iBus2 Back Office delivers its RTI API at which point the CD2 Back Office will be decommissioned.
