Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the digital platform component of the DDRT Management System has concluded with the active award stage, as of 20th March 2026. East Sussex County Council, situated in Lewes, England, undertook this initiative within the software package and information systems category. The selective procurement method, consisting of a call-off from a framework agreement, was employed to secure this project valued at £297,600. The contract spans from 5th February 2026 to 4th February 2029, with potential extensions up to 4th February 2030. Interested parties had until 2nd January 2026 to submit tenders for this opportunity serving the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in digital platforms, particularly those that focus on passenger booking and logistics optimisation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate due to their suitability for such contracts, despite the award being granted to Spare Labs Inc., a large-scale supplier. Companies offering innovative software solutions, especially in the realm of transportation and service management, are well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. Engaging with council projects like this can enhance credibility and showcase technical capabilities to broader markets.
