Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council procured electronic bus information infrastructure for public transport information at Maesteg Bus Station, Nolton Street and Cheapside in Bridgend. The requirement covers four E-Ink solar flags with poles and one E-Paper display in a bus shelter. This is a goods procurement involving software packages and information systems, alongside the physical passenger-information equipment needed at the named locations. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is located in Bridgend County Borough. The requirement is relevant to suppliers of electronic passenger information systems, bus-stop and shelter displays, solar-powered roadside equipment, public transport technology and associated installation or delivery services. The infrastructure is intended to improve the provision of bus information to passengers at these sites.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One supplier was selected: Journeo Passenger Systems Ltd. The contract was signed and started on 10 August 2026, with a contract end date of 13 November 2026. Its value is £42,130 excluding VAT, or £50,556 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot and is recorded as active. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The outcome indicates a defined, single-supplier purchase for electronic bus information equipment and systems at the specified Bridgend locations, rather than a multi-lot or framework procurement.

This procurement provides a clear example of Bridgend County Borough Council’s demand for passenger-information infrastructure combining digital displays, solar power and bus-stop or shelter equipment. Suppliers competing for comparable future requirements would need to demonstrate the ability to provide E-Ink solar flags with poles and E-Paper shelter displays, together with the associated software or information-system capability. Relevant businesses are likely to include passenger-information technology specialists, transport display manufacturers, systems integrators and suppliers able to support equipment for public locations. Credibility would depend on delivering a coordinated solution across bus stations, roadside locations and shelters, with products suitable for public transport use and deployment at several sites within the council’s area.
