Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured real-time passenger information displays for bus shelters across the county borough. The work covers supplying, installing and commissioning the displays, with associated support. The equipment is intended to provide passengers with live public transport information and improve the experience and accessibility of bus services. The contract also allows the council to buy additional equipment for other areas within Rhondda Cynon Taf. The work combines passenger information systems with installation and ongoing support, rather than being a supply-only requirement. Delivery is across various bus shelter locations in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The procurement is complete and Journeo Passenger Systems Limited was selected for the contract through a direct award under the Government Commercial Agency’s Transport Technology Framework, in its active and passive infrastructure lot. The framework permits an award without competition. The award value is £1,699,870 excluding VAT (£2,039,844 including VAT). The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 12 October 2031, with an option for the council to extend it by up to two further years. Estimated charges for the first year are £499,870 excluding VAT; later-year expenditure is anticipated at approximately £200,000, subject to operational requirements and future funding. The award is recorded as pending, and a future contract signature was scheduled for 12 October 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from Rhondda Cynon Taf for an integrated bus-shelter passenger information service: suppliers need to provide reliable real-time passenger information displays, install and commission them at multiple locations, and support them after deployment. The ability to supply additional equipment for other parts of the county borough is also relevant, so credible competitors should be able to accommodate changing operational requirements and further deployments. The route used was a direct award through an established transport technology framework, making framework access and a suitable active and passive infrastructure offering commercially relevant to suppliers seeking comparable work with this council. The scope suits providers that can combine information technology equipment, field installation and ongoing support for public transport users.
