II.3)Information on framework agreement
II.4)Short description of nature and quantity or value of supplies or services:
This notice seeks expressions of interest from potential suppliers to provide TfL with the services of a Delivery Agent to coordinate and manage the delivery aspect of the Quietways Programme.
This supplier will provide a coordination, design and delivery function between the boroughs and other delivery partners in the development of the Quietways cycle routes to the agreed programme standards. The supplier will work with TfL to coordinate activity across 31 London boroughs, plus additional delivery partners (e.g. The Royal Parks, City of London Open Spaces, Canal & River Trust, etc.). Where boroughs/delivery partners do not have in-house design/engineering capability, the supplier will be able to provide this service. Additionally, the supplier will be able to act as a neutral coordinator to liaise with boroughs/delivery partners for the creation of cycle routes that cross borough/delivery partner boundaries.
The supplier will also undertake detailed feasibility, detailed design and other necessary preparation work, and will oversee construction of the routes. The Delivery Agent will need to work with the outputs of the Quietways Pilot Phase, delivering one full quick win route by the end of the 2014 calendar year from a preconceived route delivery plan. Additionally, they will be required to deliver further routes from delivery plans, and create further delivery plans according to a set process.
The work required will involve substantial borough, community and other local authority communication and engagement, as well as engineering and detailed design work. As such, any organisation or consortium of organisations applying for this work, should meet this criteria.
