Summary of the contracting process

The West of England Combined Authority, located in Bristol, has completed a public procurement process titled "Bus Information Review." This contract, which falls under the services category, aims to evaluate and improve how bus information is delivered and managed across the region. The tender process was conducted under a limited procurement method, suitable for contracts below the financial threshold. The contract was signed on 11th June 2026, with a project timeline from 15th June 2026 to 18th December 2026. The delivery regions include UKK1, UKK11, and UKK12 in the United Kingdom. The award was granted to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, and the total contract value is £51,655 GBP net (£61,986 gross).
