Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured real-time passenger information (RTPI) equipment and associated services for the 2026/2027 financial year. The requirement is classified as a real-time passenger information system and covers goods together with related services. Delivery is in the West Midlands. The council is the public-sector buyer, based in Staffordshire. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement under an existing framework, linking it to a wider framework opportunity. The work is relevant to suppliers that provide passenger information hardware, systems and associated support or services for public transport authorities. It may also suit specialist technology businesses capable of supplying and supporting RTPI infrastructure in a regional public-sector setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective procedure under a framework agreement; it was not competitively reopened for this award. One lot was completed. J M W SYSTEMS LIMITED was awarded the contract on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract is active. A signature milestone was scheduled for 14 August 2026. The published data identifies the requirement as above the relevant threshold. The award concerns RTPI equipment and associated services for Staffordshire County Council, with delivery in the West Midlands.

This award provides a clear indication of Staffordshire County Council’s demand for real-time passenger information equipment and related services at substantial regional scale. Competitors preparing for similar work would need the capability to supply RTPI systems and equipment, integrate them into public transport information arrangements, and provide the associated services required by a county council. Experience of delivering technology for public-sector or passenger-transport environments would help demonstrate credibility, alongside the operational capacity to support a framework-based procurement route. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that specialist SMEs can meet this type of requirement. Businesses with relevant RTPI expertise should monitor this buyer’s future purchasing needs.
