Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council procured a transport planning system for its Mobisoft Travel Centre. The requirement is for software-related services supporting transport planning; the procurement data identifies Chichester, West Sussex, as the delivery location. The buyer is the county council, based in Chichester. This is a specialist digital transport-planning requirement rather than a general transport service, and is relevant to suppliers that develop, provide or support planning systems for travel centres and comparable public-sector transport operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. West Sussex County Council selected DIGITAL DISPATCH INTL LTD through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 25 August 2026 for £237,932.26. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The original submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was also £237,932.26. The published information identifies the requirement as a single transport planning system procurement; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are described. The process is recorded as complete, and the selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement at West Sussex County Council for a transport planning system serving its Mobisoft Travel Centre, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible future competitor would need to provide software and associated services suited to transport planning in a travel-centre setting, and demonstrate that its system can meet the operational needs of a county council. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that delivery was not limited to a large supplier. Businesses with relevant transport-planning software, implementation and support capability may therefore be well placed to compete if a comparable requirement returns. The opportunity is specifically about this buyer’s transport planning system need, rather than general passenger transport or unrelated software work.
