Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured the supply of up to 60 real-time passenger information displays for bus shelters. The displays are three-line LED units, installed either inside shelters or on gallows poles. They must interface with the council’s existing real-time passenger information system so that the council can manage content, monitor live feeds and identify faults. Installation and commissioning are excluded from the requirement. Surrey’s system was supplied and is maintained by NavIQuate. The procurement is categorised as a service requirement relating to bus shelters, with delivery associated with Surrey and the wider United Kingdom. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based at Woodhatch Place in Reigate.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. The tender closed on 31 July 2026 at 12:30. Its estimated value was £172,500 excluding any stated award value. Trueform Engineering Limited was awarded the contract on 26 August 2026; the published award value is £0. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. The requirement was handled as a request for quotation, and the tender record identifies the main category as services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the supply of the RTPI LED displays, without installation or commissioning.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers will need to manufacture or supply robust three-line LED passenger information displays for bus shelter or pole mounting, and support delivery at a scale of up to 60 units. Technical capability must include integration with an established real-time passenger information platform, including content management, live-feed monitoring and fault monitoring. Experience of transport information equipment and compatibility work with incumbent system providers would be important, particularly where the existing Surrey system is maintained by NavIQuate. Suppliers should be able to provide the displays without relying on installation or commissioning within the supply contract. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that organisations of different sizes and structures could compete if they can demonstrate the required product and integration capability.
