UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council bought concessionary travel back-office services to administer the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme. The requirement covers management of hosted applications and the production, encoding and dispatch of travel cards. The service supports the administration of concessionary travel rather than the provision of transport itself. Delivery is for the Isle of Wight, with the Council based in Newport. The work is classified as support services for land transport (CPV 63710000).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. EUCLID LIMITED was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 31 March 2024. The contract runs from 1 April 2024 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The procurement was described as below threshold, with the procedure otherwise recorded as unknown. The published evaluation basis is not set out in the contracting information. The contract was conducted on the buyer’s purchase order terms and conditions.

This award shows demand from the Isle of Wight Council for a joined-up concessionary travel back-office service: hosted application management alongside the operational handling of travel cards, including production, encoding and dispatch. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable administration of the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, the ability to run hosted systems and the facilities or delivery arrangements to personalise and distribute cards. The requirement is relatively focused in scale, so suppliers able to provide these linked functions efficiently may be better placed than operators whose experience is limited to transport services or software alone. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist provider can deliver this type of service.
