II.1.4) Short description
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 deliver
y 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.
