Description

Transport for London (TfL) is issuing a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice to obtain market feedback in relation to the Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. TfL invites suppliers to participate in this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to help shape the upcoming procurement opportunity. This is a valuable chance to engage with us early, gain insight into our requirements and contribute your expertise.

This preliminary market engagement is targeting suppliers that can take on the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor role to undertake Detailed Design and Delivery of the Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. Also, this will determine the appetite for this project which has a complex location requiring compliance to environmental regulations and poses risks to the environment, confined spaces and explosions

The primary focus of the Market engagement is to better understand the market, supplier appetite, capacity and capability, as well as perceived risks and opportunities in relation to the development and finalisation of the commercial strategy for TfL's Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining Project. The engagement will also provide feedback and help to develop the procurement strategy for the Project's procurement.

The Greenwich Bunds Re-Lining project is located at Greenwich Power Station which is a critical standby power facility operated by Transport for London (TfL).

The station is fuelled by oil stored in five storage tanks, each housed in individual reinforced concrete bunds. These bunds, partially below ground level and situated close to the River Thames, are designed to contain any potential oil leaks, thereby preventing the risk of fuel oil seeping into the subsoil and ultimately into the river.

The bunds have deteriorated over time and reached the end of their design life, posing a risk of environmental contamination. This necessitates a project to replace the lining of the five storage tank bunds with the addition of a reception tank bund and pump bund. This project aims to ensure the bunds' ability to contain oil in the event of a tank failure and compliance with environmental regulations.

Full details on how to participate in this Preliminary Market Engagement Exercise are included in this notice.

Engagement process description

TfL are looking for parties that may be interested in this opportunity to respond to the Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) which can be accessed via TfL's e-tendering portal, SAP Ariba.

To do so, organisations will need to register latest by 12noon 10th April 2026 on TfL's SAP Ariba via the following link: https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw.

Please find more detailed steps on registering below.

This exercise does not form part of any procurement process. All responses will be carefully considered but will not bind TfL to any approach, nor will responses be treated as conveying any promise or commitment on the part of the respondent. This activity is focusing on the market, rather than the merits of individual suppliers. It includes no element of supplier selection or bid evaluation. There is no commitment of any kind inferred by either party.

Any feedback received will be reviewed and may be considered in determining TfL's future approach to the procurement of PPAs. Responses will be treated in confidence by TfL and may be shared only with organisations supporting on our strategy (where these organisations are under contract and therefore subject to maintaining confidentiality).

For your feedback to be considered, your completed MSQ must be received by 12:00noon (midday) on 22nd April 2026 via TfL's SAP Ariba.

Following submission of MSQ responses, TfL at its discretion may conduct 121 conversations with a number of responding organisations with a view to further inform the strategy going forward. TfL at its discretion may conduct a virtual briefing to further present information about this project.

The following instructions explain TfL's e-tendering portal and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL in relation to this exercise.

(1) To register or to check if you are already registered to SAP Ariba, log on to: https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw

Interested parties must read the instructions carefully before proceeding with registration.

(2) Once you have registered on SAP Ariba (or are already registered), you must also register on TfL's SAP Ariba system through the following link: https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfRegistration?realm=TfL

Guidance on registering is available through the following link: https://content.tfl.gov.uk/supplier-registration.pdf

(3) Upon completion of steps 1 and/or 2, interested parties must inform Moradeke Adewolu via email (MoradekeAdewolu@tfl.gov.uk) with the following details latest 12noon on 10th April 2026:

• your organisation name as registered in SAP Ariba;

• your applicable supplier ID associated with TfL in SAP Ariba, in the form of SM Vendor ID, ERP ID, AN ID or ACM ID;

• your single point of contact registered on SAP Ariba; first name and surname;

• your email address registered with SAP Ariba; and

• your role in the organisation as registered with SAP Ariba.

Completion of these steps will enable TfL to invite interested parties to the event in SAP Ariba to gain access to the MSQ, allowing interested suppliers to submit their response.

Please contact AribaSupplierEnablement@tfl.gov.uk in the first instance should you experience any problems with the portal for issues related to items 1 and 2 above.
