Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of Electronic Bus Information and Departure Displays in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract, which was awarded to Procyon Limited and carries a value of £267,000, is focused on providing five years of support and maintenance for electronic communication equipment, in addition to software and maintenance services. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, indicating a streamlined process aimed at quick contract allocation. The contract commenced on 19 March 2021 and extends until 18 March 2027, having been actively awarded as of 18 March 2021, with the most recent notice published on 4 December 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in telecommunication and software systems, as well as those capable of delivering robust repair and maintenance services. The procurement is particularly suited to businesses with a focus on advanced communication technologies, though the direct award method may limit typical competitive tender opportunities. Equipment suppliers and service maintenance companies interested in enhancing their portfolio within public sector engagement could greatly benefit, especially if offering innovative solutions in a similar category. While this contract specifically did not accommodate SMEs or VCSEs, it nevertheless highlights a vital sector where rapid advancements in technology demand continual investment and expertise.
