UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured services to operate, maintain, support and host its existing Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) solution, including associated Traffic Light Priority (TLP) functionality. The requirement covers passenger information systems and related systems and technical consultancy services. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, England. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement concerns ongoing technical operation of an established transport information system rather than the supply of new passenger information equipment. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers with experience managing hosted real-time transport technology, maintaining operational passenger information platforms and supporting traffic signal priority functionality for a local authority or transport network.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. R2P UK Systems Ltd was awarded the services on 24 July 2026 for £127,324 excluding VAT, or £152,788.80 including VAT. The active contract runs from 25 July 2026 to 24 July 2027, with one option to extend for a further 12 months, giving a maximum possible end date of 24 July 2028. There was one completed lot. The award was made on the basis of a direct appointment rather than a competitive evaluation, and the contract was signed on 24 July 2026.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Lincolnshire County Council for specialist support of an existing RTPI and TLP environment. A credible future competitor would need to show practical capability in operating and hosting real-time passenger information systems, maintaining service availability, providing technical support and managing system changes or faults. Experience integrating or supporting traffic signal priority functionality would be directly relevant, as would knowledge of passenger-facing transport data and local-authority service environments. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused specialist rather than only by a large systems integrator. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable operational support and relevant technical consultancy experience.
