Description

As part of hostile environment, policies and programmes are created for migrants and statements made on behalf of migrants, without their consultation or opportunity to respond, despite the significance of these policies in shaping their lives in the UK. To deliver on the Mayor's opposition to the hostile environment and to deepen community engagement practice, a programme of inclusion of migrant Londoners in the GLA's work is being established.

Through meaningful engagement with migrant Londoners, the Board will identify opportunities to amplify the voices of this community who face structural barriers to participation, embed community insights relating to the experiences of migrant Londoners to inform greater understanding of their needs and aspirations and seek to foster an equitable relationship between migrant communities and decision makers, including the GLA and partner organisations. The Board will also feed into improving engagement practice in specific ways, including through the sharing of practice via the GLA funded London Engagement Collaborative and through the Insights Hub.

The aims and structure of the Migrant Londoners Board (MLB) (interim name ) will be co-designed and further developed with migrant Londoners. The current vision is to develop a two-way consultation approach between the panel and the GLA on planned work (including with wider professional networks), and to have a safe space to raise key issues of importance to their communities, to network, and to develop a trusted relationship with the GLA. There will be remuneration for participation in the Board and expenses such as travel will be covered.

TfL have recently switched to a new sourcing system, SAP Ariba, meaning that TfL's processes are now different to those that suppliers may be familiar with. The following instructions explain this new system and provide guidance on how interested parties will be able to communicate with TfL.
To log in to SAP Ariba (this is to log in only and not to register):
https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw
To register: Please use TfL specific Ariba registration page below:
https://s1-eu.ariba.com/Sourcing/Main/ad/selfRegistration?realm=TfL
After registration(if not already registered): To participate in the tender:
Register Interest for the event by contacting (emailing) the Commercial contact listed on Find a Tender/ Contract Finder posting.
Note: The Ariba system is not automated, therefore, once you have registered (or are registered already) your business on Ariba you must email the above contact. Registering business on Ariba is not same as registering interest for the project. The above commercial contact will have to manually give your registered business access to the tender.
For help on registering on the SAP Ariba system and for checking if your organisation already has an account please refer to https://content.tfl.gov.uk/supplier-registration.pdf

For guidance on using the SAP Ariba system, please refer to https://support.ariba.com/Adapt/Ariba_Network_Supplier_Training
