Summary of the contracting process

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has concluded the award stage for a new public transport data management system contract. The contract, valued at £1,827,977, involves a procurement process using the open procedure method and is classified under the "Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation" category. This procurement, managed by the authority located in Leeds, addresses a variety of underlying services such as database management, software programming, and data services. The contract's initial term is set for five years, starting 18 July 2025, with a possibility of extending it for six additional years. The tender, attracting submissions until 24 March 2025, has been awarded to VELOCITI SOLUTIONS LTD, a large-scale supplier, indicative of this procurement's emphasis on high-quality service delivery over a substantial term.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and IT sectors, particularly those specialising in data management systems, consultancy, and software services. Companies that can offer comprehensive solutions to support public transport information hubs stand to benefit from engaging in such projects. The contract is SME-suitable, hinting that smaller enterprises could also vie for sub-contracting opportunities to contribute niche expertise, especially in the interconnected services crucial for the successful delivery of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s objectives. As public transport evolves towards integrated digital ecosystems, the potential for businesses to align with such governmental contracts and grow within the transport equipment and data services industry remains substantial.
