TfL have switched to a new sourcing/e-tendering portal - SAP ARIBA, meaning that TfL's processes are now different to those that economic operators may be familiar with. The following instructions explain this new system and provide guidance on how economic operators/suppliers can access tenders through the new system and communicate with TfL:
1. To register or to check if you are already registered to SAP Ariba, log on to
https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw. Interested parties must read the instructions carefully before proceeding with registration. For help on using the SAP Ariba system, please refer to https://support.ariba.com/Adapt/Ariba_Network_Supplier_Training. If the problem persists please contact Ariba_Supplier_Enablement@tfl.gov.uk .
2. Once you have registered on SAP Ariba (or are already registered), you must also register on TfL's SAP Ariba system through the following link:

3. Upon completion of steps 1 and/or 2, interested parties should submit their interest via email to the TfL Commercial lead aminabegum@tfl.gov.uk with the following details:
Company Name:
Key Contact Name:
