TfL Ref: 2208-2021

Thank you for your request received by us on 31 January 2021 asking for information about whether Transport for London (TfL) uses Microsoft PowerApps.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked:

does TFL use Microsoft PowerApps and if so how do they use it, for what purpose.

I can advise that TfL uses Microsoft PowerApps for a variety of small business applications of low complexity that need to be developed quickly. Examples of PowerApps applications include the following:

• Staff Pass Request system.
• London Underground Station familiarisation form.
• Remote working staff hardware requirements capture form.

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely

Jasmine Howard
