Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council is initiating a public procurement process to install and maintain audio-visual RTPI screens at various bus stops and shelters in the district. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the process tagged under "planning" as of 17th December 2025. Located in Newbury, England, West Berkshire Council seeks to enhance public-service transport infrastructure within the UK South East region (UKJ11), categorised under services. Potential vendors have an opportunity to engage in a market survey due by 12th January 2026, and the formal tender communication might be available from 2nd February 2026. The process is guided by UKPGA legal standards, aiming to secure the services of contractors beginning 15th April 2026, with the contract potentially extending until April 2028.

This tender opens up opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to compete, with both being explicitly deemed suitable for this project. Businesses experienced in supplying screens, bus-stop infrastructure, and installation services pertinent to real-time display units can find potential growth in partnering with West Berkshire Council. With an estimated contract value of £50,000, firms specialising in transport-related technological upgrades and public-service enhancements should consider participating to expand their portfolio and deepen their involvement in public sector infrastructure projects.
