Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Real Time Passenger Information Services (RTPI)" project. This tender, classified under systems and technical consultancy services, focuses on maintaining, supporting, and hosting an existing RTPI solution with Traffic Light Priority functionality. The procurement, categorised under services, followed a direct method without competition as it was below the threshold.

The contract commenced on 25th July 2026 and is set to end on 24th July 2027, with an option to extend for an additional year.
