Description

Overview Transport for London (TfL) is committed to reducing dust on the London Underground. While levels of airborne Particle Matter (PM) in the London Underground are currently below the occupational standards set by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), TfL aspires to further reduce these levels further. At present, TfL is engaged in the initial stages of market engagement by inviting suppliers to participate in a Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) aimed at reducing dust. This MSQ is focused on seeking innovative solutions to potentially trial and scale, particularly those which can overcome challenges associated with reducing dust. The goals of this MSQ are to: • Understand what additional solutions exist that could supplement the work already taking place. • Understand what technologies exist in other industries that might be applicable to this problem area.

Total Quantity or Scope

At this stage, TfL is undertaking early market engagement: • Understand what solutions exist and ready for implementation • Understand what technologies exist in other industries that might be applicable to this problem area … Depending on market feedback, TfL may seek to process to trial and scaling phase which would include further procurement information.
