Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured services for Liffey replacements under its real-time passenger transport information arrangements for 2025–2029. The requirement covers a real-time passenger information system together with associated repair and maintenance services. It is a passenger transport technology and support requirement, rather than a general IT or construction contract. The procuring authority is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The awarded service relates to delivery in Hampshire. The procurement is a single completed lot and is aimed at maintaining or replacing passenger information capability so that public transport users can receive timely service information. Businesses working in passenger information systems, transport technology support, system maintenance and related operational services are the closest fit.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to VIX TECHNOLOGY UK LIMITED. It used a selective procedure as a competitive call-off under a framework, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £47,587 excluding VAT, or £57,104.40 including VAT. The award covers the single completed lot and is recorded as active. The contract concerns real-time passenger information system services and repair and maintenance. The process was competitive, with the successful supplier selected through the framework call-off route. Hampshire County Council is the buyer and VIX TECHNOLOGY UK LIMITED is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for specialist passenger transport information technology linked to Liffey replacements. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in real-time passenger information systems, together with the technical resources to repair, maintain and support such systems in a live transport environment. Experience of delivering reliable passenger-facing information services would be relevant, as would the ability to manage replacement activity and ongoing service support for a local authority. The procurement also shows that the council uses a competitive framework call-off for this type of below-threshold requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore have an established framework route, or understand how to access one, alongside demonstrable transport technology delivery capability.
