UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured a fully managed real-time passenger information service for the Southampton administrative area. The requirement covers passenger information system hardware, including solar-powered and mains-powered displays, shelter-mounted displays, pole-mounted displays and large-format transport hub totems. The supplier is responsible for site surveys, planning and advertising consent support, electrical connections, installation, testing, commissioning, asset management, fault monitoring, maintenance, repairs, software support and contract management. The work also includes associated infrastructure and ongoing support, providing a complete service rather than a hardware-only supply. The procurement is classified as goods, with the main requirement being passenger information systems. Delivery and service activity are centred across Southampton.

The procurement has been awarded through a competitive call-off under a framework, using a selective procedure. It had one completed lot. J M W Systems Limited was selected on 24 July 2026 for a gross awarded value of £1,800,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 22 August 2031, with a planned signature by 17 August 2026 and a standstill period ending on 13 August 2026. The Council may make additional purchases of compatible RTPI hardware, associated equipment and related services, including updated or successor manufacturer models, provided these remain within the original scope and advertised maximum value. The award is above the relevant threshold and competition was used.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to deliver and support end-to-end real-time passenger information systems for a local authority. A credible competitor would need capability in passenger information displays, associated infrastructure, site surveying, planning and advertising consent support, electrical works, installation, testing and commissioning. Ongoing delivery requires asset management, fault monitoring, planned and reactive maintenance, repairs, software support and contract management. Experience integrating hardware with existing transport infrastructure and back-office systems would be important, particularly where equipment must remain compatible with established assets. Suppliers should also be able to support different display formats and power arrangements, including solar-powered, mains-powered, shelter-mounted, pole-mounted and large-format hub equipment, with sufficient operational capacity for an area-wide managed service.
