UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured 132 solar-powered, battery-backed real-time passenger information displays, together with supporting poles featuring reflective strips and large timetable cases. The requirement also covers all associated services needed to supply and support the equipment. The main category is goods, specifically real-time passenger information systems (CPV 48813200). Delivery is across Staffordshire and Shropshire. This is a transport information technology and passenger information equipment requirement, rather than a general construction or public transport operating contract. It would be relevant to businesses supplying solar and battery-powered roadside passenger information displays, display poles, timetable infrastructure, installation or related support services. The council is based in Stafford and is the contracting authority and budget holder for the purchase.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. It was divided into one lot. Staffordshire County Council awarded the contract to J M W SYSTEMS LIMITED on 15 July 2026. The award and signed contract value is £990,000 excluding VAT, or £1,188,000 including VAT. The award period runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 September 2026. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026, with the contract period running from 5 August to 19 September 2026. The selected supplier is an SME. The published outcome records the procurement as complete and the contract as active. The opportunity was evaluated within the framework route rather than through an open tender.

This award shows a defined requirement for a substantial, short-duration deployment of solar and battery-backed real-time passenger information equipment, including roadside structures, reflective treatment, timetable cases and associated services. A credible future competitor would need to design, manufacture or supply comparable passenger information displays and integrate power, batteries, poles and cases into a coordinated delivery. Experience with roadside or public transport information equipment would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to deliver a large batch of units and provide the associated services within a concentrated implementation period. Suppliers able to offer a complete equipment-and-services package may be better placed than businesses providing only individual components. The award to an SME indicates that this scale was achievable by a specialist smaller supplier.
