Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport, a central government public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the award stage of a procurement process for the development of a Forensic Collision Investigation Application (FCIA). This contract, valued at £60,500 excluding VAT, was signed on 29th July 2025 and runs until 31st March 2026. The process followed a direct procurement method under a below-threshold initiative without competition, focusing on the provision of programming services for application software. Located in London, the project aligns with recommendations from the Parliamentary Advisory Committee for Transport Safety's 2020 report on seatbelt safety.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those with expertise in application programming services. Given the scale of the awarded supplier, an SME named Simon Bishop, the process highlights potential for small to medium enterprises to engage with governmental contracts. Companies seeking growth in public sector services within the technology industry, especially those offering innovative safety solutions, would be well-suited to pursue similar future tenders issued by the Department for Transport.
