Notice Information
Notice Title
CPU 5277 Passenger Transport Logistics (Home to School) Software System
Notice Description
Our current system (Transys) is outdated and no longer fit for purpose in its current version. A modern replacement is essential to meet legal obligations, improve service quality, and control costs. The Authority now wants to adopt a cloud-based transport system that offers route optimisation, real-time tracking, and integrated reporting (some of which will be compulsory reporting to DofE). Nottingham City Council wants the new contract to align with the following strategic priorities: * Digital Modernisation: The new system will be cloud-based, scalable and user-friendly, replacing legacy infrastructure. * Data-Driven Decisions: It will enable accurate reporting, performance monitoring, and financial forecasting. * Smart City Readiness: The system can integrate with mapping, tracking, and future mobility services. * Digital Inclusion: Accessible across devices, with single sign-on and compliance with accessibility standards. * Data Governance: Secure, compliant data storage with audit trails and IT-reviewed security protocols.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Renewal: The initial contract duration will be for 3-years years with a possible two extension(s) of 1-year at the Authority's discretion.
