Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Norfolk County Council involved the award of a contract titled "Supply, installation and maintenance of new Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) screens across Norfolk." This initiative falls under the services sector, specifically classified as software packages and information systems. The procurement, completed on 19th August 2021, utilised a limited procurement method through a negotiated procedure without prior publication due to the unavailability of competitive options for technical reasons. The contract, valued at £1,000,000, commenced on 23rd November 2020 and will run until 1st October 2024, with the delivery addresses located in the East of England.

This tender creates significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in software solutions and passenger information systems. Given that the procurement was executed without a call for competition, businesses with the required technical capabilities and track records in integrating with existing hardware systems will be particularly well-suited to explore future opportunities arising from Norfolk County Council’s needs in enhancing public transport infrastructure. Interested businesses may also consider collaborating with specialised firms, like Nexus Alpha Low Powered Systems, to strengthen their proposals or service offerings.
