Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured new real-time passenger information displays for installation in bus shelters. The requirement is for three-line LED displays that can interface with the council’s existing real-time passenger information system, which is supplied and maintained by NavIQuate, trading as Modaxo. This is a supply of passenger transport information equipment rather than a construction or general bus shelter project. The awarded goods are classified under CPV 44212321, covering bus shelters, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, specialist transport information equipment suppliers and integrators able to provide outdoor LED passenger information displays that work with an established council system.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold request for quotations. Surrey County Council selected Trueform Engineering Limited, an SME, for the single lot. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £153,000 excluding VAT and £183,600 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the quotation process, with the available outcome identifying the selected supplier and the contracted goods. The award covers the supply of the new three-line LED displays for integration with the council’s existing real-time passenger information system. No separate award value or contract period is stated for any other lot or supplier.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for replacement or additional real-time passenger information displays in bus shelters, at a scale suited to a specialist equipment supplier rather than a major infrastructure contractor. A credible competitor would need to manufacture or source robust outdoor three-line LED displays, understand passenger information requirements and integrate equipment with an existing council system. Experience of working alongside an incumbent system supplier or maintenance provider would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage hardware supply, configuration and deployment across council transport locations. Suppliers with proven public transport technology, display manufacturing, systems integration and delivery capability would be best placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
