This project involves managing a database of coach route and timetable data not covered by Traveline services. The procurement falls under the IT services category and has a total value of £81,270. The contract, which was awarded on 11th September 2024 and published on 16th September 2024, commenced on 1st August 2024 and will run until 31st July 2025. The procurement method was a direct, single tender action below the threshold, and the project will include delivery across the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other global locations.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in comprehensive database management and support. Such businesses are well-suited to compete for similar future tenders, especially given the emphasis on small business participation in these types of projects. Engaging in this contract could help these businesses gain valuable experience and visibility in public sector procurement, thereby enhancing their reputation and expanding their client base in both national and international markets.
