Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Fife Council, based in Glenrothes, concerns an "Award of INVITATION TO QUOTE FOR THE PROVISION OF TIMETABLE CASES" in the goods category, specifically notice boards (CPV code 30192170). The procurement stage is at the award phase as of 9th February 2026. This direct award contract was made to Trueform, located in Middlesex, without a competitive process, due to the unique technical specifications required. The contract, valued at £155,800, commenced on 2nd February 2026 and is set to conclude by 2nd January 2028.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in transport infrastructure and public information display systems, particularly those capable of developing bespoke solutions that integrate with existing infrastructures. While Trueform was the sole supplier in this instance due to specific technical requirements, similar future tenders may open opportunities for businesses that can innovate within the niche of compatible and proprietary interface solutions, ensuring continuity and efficiency in public sector projects.
