Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured services for its existing Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) solution and associated Traffic Light Priority (TLP) functionality. The requirement covers operating, maintaining, supporting and hosting the passenger information system used for transport services. This is a technology and managed services contract, classified under CPV 48813200 for real-time passenger information systems. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands, including the Lincoln area. The work concerns an established solution rather than the supply of a new standalone system, so relevant suppliers are those able to take responsibility for an operational passenger information platform and its connected traffic signal priority functionality.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to R2P UK Systems Ltd on 24 July 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract runs from 25 July 2026 to 24 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the procurement method recorded as selective. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows continuing demand from Lincolnshire County Council for specialist operation and support of real-time passenger information technology, including hosting and traffic signal priority integration. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in running an existing RTPI platform, maintaining service availability, providing responsive technical support and managing hosted infrastructure. Experience connecting passenger information services with traffic signal priority functionality would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to assume responsibility for an established council system rather than only deliver a new implementation. Suppliers suited to framework call-offs, including SMEs and VCSEs where they have the necessary technical delivery capability, can use this requirement as a clear example of the council’s operational technology needs.
