## Who can bid

- Sets up a framework

    Winning a place does not guarantee work: contracts are awarded later as call-offs, and the list usually stays closed for years.

## About this tender

The framework (with only one lot) was tendered under PCR 2015, using the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN). This offered TfL the option to negotiate relevant aspects with tenderers during the procedure.

Note - The £15m value of the ICF is the estimated maximum total spend by TfL for the procurement and implementation of innovative solutions over 4(+2 years) at phase 2 (scaling). The £15m does not include the cost of research and development (this is provided by the partners at their own risk) or income from co-commercialising.

ICF partners will be required to develop innovative solutions to solve TfL problems and where considered appropriate by TfL, work with TfL to co-commercialise the solutions. These innovation projects will be instructed via call-off contracts.

Each project will comprise up to three phases:

- Research and Development
- Scaling and implementation at TfL sites
- Joint commercialisation

The ICF will support the delivery of the Mayor's Transport Strategy and create solutions to address TfL's priority transport issues. It will provide a new route for accessing innovation-focused partners via a single lot structure, allowing partners to be appointed directly or, at TfL's discretion, via mini-competition. It also provides a route to commercialise solutions within the UK and internationally.

Each call-off contract will comprise up to three phases depending on the nature of the project and the findings at each stage:

Phase 1: R&D/Trialling and Testing/Proof of Concept - the partner develops a solution at their own risk, with TfL providing support including subject matter expertise and test beds for trails.

Phase 2: Scaling and Implementation for TfL - if TfL decides to procure the solution TfL will pay an agreed sum for delivery and implementation as set out in the call-off contract.

Phase 3: Co-commercialisation - the partner will lead the commercialisation of the solution where appropriate.
