Tender documents
Dear Transport for London,
I would like the procurement strategy, specification (scope), invitation to tender (itt) including commercial documents and any related Annex’s and appendices for the programme partner and delivery partner stages of crossrail. I don’t want the supplier responses just the documents that was produced when the tenders were advertised.
The tender documents are usually saved for x period of time for audit purposes and are stored on your procurement portal used to advertise these opportunities e.g. on bravosolutions, in-tend etc. So their should be no issue accessing the documents.
I would like an urgent response.
Yours faithfully,
R K James

Dear R K James
TfL Ref: FOI-2460-1819
Thank you for your email received by us on 16 December 2018 asking for
information about Crossrail.
Your request is being considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I
can confirm we hold some of the information you require.
However, in accordance with Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act
we are still considering the balance of the public interest in relation to
a qualified exemption that applies to the requested information and have
not yet reached a conclusion. The exemption under consideration is s43 –
commercial interests. It is estimated that a decision will be reached by
14 February 2019 and I will write again to inform you of that decision.
Yours sincerely

Dear R K James
TfL Ref: FOI-2460-1819
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 16
December 2019. I apologise for the delay in replying to you.
Your request has been processed in accordance with the requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can
confirm we do hold some of the information you requested. You asked:
I would like the procurement strategy, specification (scope), invitation
to tender (itt) including commercial documents and any related Annex’s and
appendices for the programme partner and delivery partner stages of
Crossrail and Crossrail 2. I don’t want the supplier responses just the
documents that was produced when the tenders were advertised.
Please find attached the information you requested for Crossrail.
In accordance with the FOI Act, financial contractual agreement
information for has been redacted as it is subject to a statutory
exemption to the right of access to information under section 43(2).
In this instance the exemption has been applied as disclosure of the
information you have requested would be likely to prejudice our commercial
interests. Disclosing financial contractual agreements would be likely to
prejudice our commercial interests as it would be likely to adversely
affect the revenue we obtain through our future negotiations with
commercial partners.
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public
interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. TfL
recognises the need for openness and transparency by public authorities,
particularly where the use of public assets, but in this instance the
public interest in ensuring that TfL is able to obtain the best value from
public assets, outweighs the general public interest in increasing
transparency of TfL’s processes.
Further, please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data
Protection legislation some personal data has been removed, as required by
section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal
data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first
principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and
lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when
the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not
satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
We do not hold the information requested for Crossrail 2 as we have not
yet begun the procurement for the programme.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal.
Yours sincerely
