TfL Metering Data and Equipment

TfL is looking to procure a 10 year (5+5) annual metering data acquisition and cloud relay service including a call off of preconfigured Measuring Instruments Directive approved meters / logging solutions for electricity, gas, heat and water consumption throughout TfL's properties including the relevant comms interface units to access the contract's data acquisitions services.

The purpose of this PIN is to give early notification of a potential tender to be published.

Transport for London (TfL) is seeking to appoint a Service Provider on an initial 5-year basis, with provisions to extend for up to a further 5 years at TfL's discretion. The scope of the contract is the following key areas:

• Half hourly meter consumption data provision to TfL's SystemsLink web portal;
• Pre-configured Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) approved metering & comms equipment for free issue to TfL's internal electricians as well as any framework installation contractors required (or any other TfL-appointed party) to install the meters in order to enable billing of tenants and general energy management & reporting for Net Zero Carbon planning.

The publication of this PIN to inform the market of a potential upcoming tender follows the successful proof of concept works during 2022 that:

• Installed multiple electricity meter types using 4G, NB-IOT and TfL corporate WiFi comms routes to provide data to a central cloud portal;
• Tested comms options for water meter and electricity meter Modbus loggers;
• Integrated onward csv file provision of the half hourly meter consumption data to TfL's SystemsLink web portal;
• Provided a scope of works for TfL corporate WiFi rollout to all WiFi access points across the portfolio.

Any potential future procurement with associated documents will be published on TfL's sourcing system.
