Summary of the contracting process

The Tayside Procurement Consortium has recently completed a public procurement process for the "Real Time Passenger Information Systems Upgrade and Maintenance" contract, which involved an open tendering procedure. The procurement took place in the Tayside Region, specifically covering Angus Council, Dundee City Council, and Perth and Kinross Council. The successful bidder, JMW Systems Ltd, has been awarded the contract, with a signed agreement dated 10 December 2018, valued at £680,882. This project focused on supplying, upgrading, integrating, and maintaining systems related to real-time passenger information. Although the process is now complete, it highlights the engagement of the local authority in enhancing public transport services.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in technology and service management within the transport industry. Companies that specialise in system integration, maintenance of passenger information systems, or the provision of GPRS-enabled communications would find themselves well-suited to participate in similar tenders. With increasing demand for real-time information technologies in public transport, businesses can look to align their services with future contracts from regional authorities aiming to upgrade their systems or adopt new technologies.

(a) New Businesses With reference to the economic and financial standing criteria above, as an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence: (i) A business plan for a minimum 3 year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover of no less than the threshold stated above; (ii) A statement of whether or not any full audited accounts are available for any years' trading to date (if any audit is required) and copies of those accounts; (iii) audited or unaudited accounts (if the company has no legal audit requirement), and (iv) a letter of support for the bidder's bank setting out the level of financial support available to the business from the bank and for how long that is available. A bank letter of support should explain the amount and duration of financial support made available to the business by the bank and what information, such as a business plan for the period 01/04/2018 - 31/03/2021, was considered by the bank in deciding to make that support available. These are matters of fact not opinion so should be able to be given by any bank on the authority of their customer. It must be understood, however, that the sufficiency or otherwise of the bank letter can only be judged after submission and assessment of all Questionnaire responses so the provision of as much information as possible is encouraged. (b) Parent company guarantee - With reference to the economic and financial standing criteria above, the Purchaser reserves the right in its sole discretion to waive these minimum requirements in the case of bidders who are able to offer the Purchaser adequate substitute surety to our entire satisfaction. By way of example only (but without limitation), adequate substitute surety may be an unqualified guarantee for the performance of the bidder's entire obligations under the contract to follow on this process by a parent or associated company established in the UK and which parent or associated company does meet the minimum requirements set out in these criteria. In addition to the validation of information provided in the response to the ESPD, the Purchaser will require details of a minimum 2 year's financial accounts, including both Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet and evidence of valid Insurance Certification prior to any contract award, save that information provided by new businesses will be required and assessed as appropriate. Prior to any contract award, save that information provided by new businesses will be required and assessed as appropriate."
