Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council has bought software systems for real-time passenger information and related passenger transport operations. The package comprises OmniTIMES, TransXChange, OmniHUB, omniMAP and OmniStop, covering passenger information and the systems used to manage and share it. Delivery is for Hull. This is a council technology procurement focused on public transport information, rather than general-purpose software or transport services. The systems support the presentation and exchange of passenger information, including real-time updates, through the named products. The work is relevant to suppliers providing passenger information platforms, transport data integration or associated software systems for local authorities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Velociti Solutions Limited. Hull City Council made a direct award through the G-Cloud 14 framework, without a separate competition; one bid was recorded. The stated award value is £69,328.33. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is for two years, with options for two further 12-month extensions. The stated evaluation criterion was price. The process was described as a single lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active. The active award is therefore to Velociti Solutions Limited for the named software systems; the contract record confirms an active contract.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from Hull City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a joined-up passenger information software package spanning real-time information, timetable data exchange, a hub platform, mapping and stop information. A credible competitor would need products that cover these functions and can work together as a coherent system, as well as the capability to supply and support them for a local authority. Familiarity with transport data integration and passenger-facing information is directly relevant. The council used the G-Cloud 14 framework for a direct award, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need an appropriate route to market and a clear, competitive price. The recorded award went to an SME, showing that this scale of requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier. No specific technical accreditations or staffing thresholds are stated.
