UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, facilitated by the North East Combined Authority, centres on a contract titled "Transport Data Software," with the main industry category being services related to office and computing machinery, as well as transport agency services. The authority, located at The Lumen, St James' Boulevard in Newcastle Upon Tyne, engaged in a direct procurement method, executed as a light-touch regime. This was a below-threshold process, conducted without competition. The procurement stage reached its award on 5th August 2026, with the contract running from 6th August 2026 to 1st July 2027. Deliveries are planned across multiple UK regions, supporting the continued use of the Remix GIS platform for transport analysis due to potential franchising decisions in early 2027.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the technology and transport sectors, particularly those capable of providing software and data analysis services that complement public transit systems. Although the contract was awarded directly to Via Technologies Europe B.V., other large-scale technology and logistics businesses could prepare to compete in future procurement exercises anticipated in relation to broader software needs due to franchising expansions. Companies specialising in geographical information systems, transport data analytics, and digital service solutions should closely monitor such developments for subsequent opportunities.
