Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for an Identity Verification Solution as part of the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) project. This contract, valued at £25,000, was awarded to Veriff and covers the integration of ID verification for driving licence, address, and ID checks essential for bike, e-scooter, and car hire/share services in the South West region of the United Kingdom, specifically based in Bristol (BS1 6AL). The procurement process was selective, carried out through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 10th July 2023 and is set to conclude on 10th July 2024. The industry category for this procurement falls under Information technology services (CPV code 72222300).

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for firms that specialise in ID verification and IT service integration, as it supports a comprehensive transportation network requiring robust compliance with legal and insurance standards. Companies with expertise in developing secure and reliable verification systems are well-suited to compete for such contracts, which could lead to long-term partnerships and further engagement in public sector transportation projects. Despite the contract not explicitly targeting SMEs or VCSEs, established tech firms with a track record in public transportation solutions can greatly benefit from this engagement.
