Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured contract management software for analysing data from Velociti electronic ticketing machines (ETMs). The requirement is for a data analysis system (DAS), with optional add-on modules, supporting the Authority’s management of its ETM arrangements. This is a software and information systems requirement, delivered for the West Midlands Combined Authority in the West Midlands. The named system is Velociti’s ETM Data Analysis System; the procurement description identifies the software as contract management software rather than setting out further functional specifications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Velociti Solutions Limited on 25 September 2026. The award value is £187,257. The stated estimated procurement range was £187,257 to £437,964. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with an option to extend for one further year. The procurement used a selective call-off from the GCA G-Cloud 14 framework. Bids closed on 17 September 2026. The competition was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the awarded supplier is an SME. The contract also allows optional add-on modules.

This award demonstrates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for software that analyses electronic ticketing machine data and supports contract management. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need a software product suited to ETM data analysis, together with the capability to manage the related contract information and support optional additional modules. Suppliers should be able to deliver a requirement of this scale through a framework call-off route, as the successful supplier did through G-Cloud 14. The selected provider, Velociti Solutions Limited, is an SME, showing that a smaller software supplier can deliver this type of requirement. The opportunity is specifically relevant to suppliers with transport-ticketing data and contract management software capability, rather than providers of general software without those functions.
