Summary of the contracting process

Wiltshire Council, located in Trowbridge, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the "Passenger Transport Management System," aimed at providing support and maintenance of Routewise, the current passenger transport management system. This initiative falls under the industry category of software support services and covers the UKK15 region. The procurement method applied was direct, below the threshold and without competition, leading to its completion at the award stage. The finalisation of the contract took place on 11th May 2026, with the contract period running from then until 30th April 2027. The awarded supplier for this project is TRAPEZE GROUP (UK) LIMITED, based in Chippenham, UK.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses with capabilities in software support services to engage with public sector opportunities that demand specialised maintenance and support. Companies already established or looking to expand in the UKK15 region can find growth prospects by offering competitive, reliable software solutions tailored to the public transport domain. While the direct procurement process in this contract did not necessitate competition, it highlights the demand for well-qualified suppliers ready to maintain critical transport management infrastructure, setting precedent and potential for similar opportunities in the future.
