Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has completed a procurement process for IT services under the title "Bus Movement Reliability / Delays" in Huddersfield, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically without prior publication due to the project's technical requirements, leading to a direct award to Simplifai System Limited. The contract, valued at GBP 70,000, was signed on 26 January 2026. The procurement aimed to enhance traffic management software, classified under IT services including consulting, software development, and support. The procurement process has reached the award stage, acknowledging the absence of competition for technical reasons, while originally allowing for an optional 12-month extension which was later cancelled.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those skilled in developing traffic management solutions. Companies that can offer innovative software consulting and support may benefit from such contracting opportunities in the future, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Simplifai System Limited. This process underscores the potential for growth in collaborations with regional authorities, which may require specialised software to fulfil unique technical needs and enhance public infrastructure services.
