The procurement falls under the category of services and commenced from 1st October 2025, with a contract period extending until 30th September 2028. The procurement method was a direct award justified by the unique requirements of the TTF, necessitating a provider capable of maintaining neutrality, data stewardship, and sector trust. The awarded contract has a gross value of £1,440,000 and supports the Department's strategic objectives by providing an impartial platform for engagement.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the transport technology sector, particularly those able to support innovation and collaboration between public and commercial partners.

Additionally, businesses with expertise in managing comprehensive data and fostering sector trust may find avenues for growth within such forums. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as VCSE (voluntary, community, and social enterprise) organisations that can align with these impartiality and community-focused principles, are encouraged to consider similar opportunities for collaboration with government entities.
