Summary of the contracting process

Glasgow City Council procured population movement, or mobile footfall, data for analytics supporting its City Centre Regeneration team. The service covers overall levels of people movement in Glasgow city centre, enabling the council to monitor activity and use the data in its city centre dashboard. The requirement includes real-time tracking and dynamic updates through an application programming interface (API) or an equivalent technical interface. This is a data and analytical service rather than physical works or equipment supply. Delivery is focused on Glasgow city centre, for the council’s population movement analysis and regeneration activity. The main classification is data transmission services (CPV 72314000), with related classifications covering data services, statistical analysis and survey services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. There was one lot, evaluated on price and quality, with no variant bids allowed. British Telecommunications plc was selected as supplier, and the contract is active. The award date was 12 May 2026; the contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £87,500. The estimated lot value was £90,000. The contract provides people movement data with real-time monitoring over a twelve-month period, dynamic updates through an API or equivalent, and a four-year contract term. Bidders were required to submit electronically in English, with bids valid for 180 days. Financial checks covered profitability, positive net worth, solvency and audited accounts, alongside specified insurance levels.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers of mobile footfall data, population movement intelligence, location analytics, data platforms and API-based information services. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable city-centre coverage, near-real-time data, dynamic updates and an interface that supports dashboard integration and analytical use. The council’s stated approach favours organisations able to demonstrate delivery for a customer of similar size or complexity, with two relevant examples from the previous three years; each example had to meet the required evaluation threshold. Financial resilience is important, including positive trading performance, positive net worth and evidence of solvency. Suppliers also need capacity to maintain employer’s, public, products and professional indemnity insurance at the specified levels, and to manage any specialist subcontractors transparently.
