Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council has completed a direct award contract for the provision and maintenance of real-time passenger information at bus stops, located in the UK regions UKH15, UKH16, and UKH17. This procurement falls within the goods and services industry category, specifically linked to audio-visual equipment, signage, and bus station services. The contract, valued at £7,000,000, is set to run from 17th February 2026 to 16th February 2031. The procurement process has moved through the award stage as of 10th February 2026. Key documents and planning notices were first made available from May 2025 as part of the planning process.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in transportation technologies and infrastructure development. Businesses with expertise in audio-visual systems and real-time information technologies are well-suited to compete in this procurement. The choice of a direct award highlights the importance of compatibility and technical expertise in ongoing service provision, suggesting that established companies familiar with the existing systems have an advantageous position. Small and medium-sized enterprises, like Norfolk's chosen supplier, Nexus Alpha Limited, also stand a competitive chance in similar government-led projects.
