What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTransport for London (TfL) is undertaking a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to gauge interest in the marketplace for suppliers to participate in a tender for the provision of Speed Awareness Courses.
TfL works together in long standing partnerships with the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to jointly operate and administer speed enforcement in London. This shared responsibility includes the management of red light and speed camera offences on the network. This activity contributes significantly to the Mayor's targets for casualty reduction and the objective to eliminate death and serious injury on London's roads by 2041. The camera network also contributes significantly to traffic management, keeping traffic moving in a safe, compliant and efficient manner.
It is well documented that speed or inappropriate speed contributes to a significant percentage of all collisions and a higher percentage of more serious collisions.
The National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) has been developed to offer drivers the opportunity to benefit from improving their driving attitudes and skills following a police intervention. Eligible drivers are offered the opportunity to complete a course as a voluntary alternative to their offence being dealt with through the Criminal Justice System.
NDORS has been established by the police service in collaboration with the National Association of Driver Intervention Providers (NADIP). The police service has formed the Road Safety Trust (RST), a charity, to provide the business support to the scheme through UK Road Offender Education (UKROEd).
All NDORS courses and associated material are registered with the Intellectual Property Office and protected in law, in order to ensure the quality is at a sustainable high standard and courses are consistent allowing the offender to attend anywhere in the UK and receive the same education. The course provider and individual instructors and trainers must operate under a licence issued by UKROEd.

Accordingly, the information contained within the draft specification may be amended or superseded and should not be relied upon for any other purpose.
Please Note:
This exercise does not form part of any formal procurement process. All responses will be carefully considered but will not bind TfL to any approach to the procurement, nor will responses be treated as conveying any promise or commitment on the part of the respondent.
Feedback received may be considered in the development of any future procurement and delivery strategies relating to the provision of Speed Awareness Courses. However, TfL will not enter a contract based on the responses to the MSQ.
Any indicative cost or pricing information received in response to this MSQ will be used solely for planning purposes, such as estimating and budgeting.
Responses will be treated in confidence and shared only with the TfL project team and its advisers (subject to any applicable Freedom of Information requests).
Direct or indirect canvassing of the Mayor, any members of the Greater London Authority, employees, directors, board members, agents and advisers of TfL and any of its subsidiaries by any person concerning the MSQ documents or any related procurement process and any attempt to procure information from any of the foregoing concerning the MSQ documents may result in the disqualification of the person and / or the relevant organisation from consideration during the preliminary market engagement or for any associated procurement.
