The procurement falls under the services category with a value of £4,300,000. The procurement method is a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The tender period ends on 3rd May 2024, and the contract period is scheduled to start on 1st October 2024 and end on 30th September 2028. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the software, financial, and IT services sectors to compete for a contract with Kent County Council. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement is suitable for them. The initiative aims to introduce MaaS in the Ebbsfleet, Dartford, and Gravesham area, with the potential for future expansion across Kent & Medway. Businesses offering digital transport services and innovative mobility solutions would find this tender well-suited for business growth opportunities. ## Notice A Mobility as a Service (MaaS) Platform provides a digital transport service that enables users to plan, book and pay for a range of public transport & private transport options, including multi-modal tickets and the use of new transport modes, within a defined geographical area. The user is able to access real-time information to assist them on their journey. MaaS can be perceived as a one-stop online ICT interface comprising: * an intermodal journey planner (providing combinations of different transport modes: bus, BRT, rail, DRT, electric car club, car-sharing, cycling and walking, bike/ebike hire scheme, underground, taxi, etc.) that operates in real-time * a single payment portal, whereby users can buy conventional travel products, 'pay as they go' or else buy a service bundle or monthly multimodal travel subscription in advance * a booking system incorporating the entire end-to-end journey stages". MaaS is the 'digital infrastructure glue' that joins all transport services and initiatives together to give one view of all transport options for residents & visitors to the area, to plan, book and pay for multimodal journeys. By offering seamless, zero emissions public & private transport integration both at an app level and operational level, together with an integrated loyalty incentive scheme, MaaS will provide a shift away from personal car ownership & single occupancy vehicle (SOV) use towards sustainable forms of travel. It is KCC's ambition to introduce MaaS firstly to the Ebbsfleet, Dartford and Gravesham urban area, with a large public launch & behavioural change campaign from Jan 2024. This will support the continued development of Ebbsfleet Garden City & Dartford & Gravesham residential & commercial areas. Once MaaS is operating in the Ebbsfleet zone it is the intention to roll out MaaS across Kent & Medway in the future after the pilot period MaaS will make travel by different shared modes of transport and active travel easy, seamless and cost effective. MaaS will allow residents of Ebbsfleet, Dartford & Gravesend to live without the need to own a private car or second car, as MaaS will provide access to a wide range of shared electric transport & active travel modes. MaaS includes the addition of new first mile last mile travel modes to the area to integrate into the solution. It will do this through a MaaS Platform comprising a customer MaaS app, a customer MaaS website, a MaaS back-office platform and dashboard portals for each of the key stakeholder groups involved. This Platform and the associated set of commercial relationships with the participating transport operators and Mobility Service Providers (MSPs) will need to be managed on a day-to-day basis. Customer services will also need to be provided to the users of the platform. Together these comprise the MaaS Operator role. KCC has determined that the supply of the Platform and procurement of the MaaS Operator service will be done under a single contract, the ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03e17b5a-7c0b-4c1c-8811-2bc2e9c105f2 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Competitive procedure with negotiation (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 3 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 30 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,300,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | KENT COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MAIDSTONE | | Post town | Rochester | | Postcode | ME14 1XQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ4 Kent | | ITL 3 | TLJ45 Mid Kent | | Local authority | Maidstone | | Electoral ward | Penenden Heath | | Westminster constituency | Maidstone and Malling | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 2 Apr 2024 at 13:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03e17b5a-7c0b-4c1c-8811-2bc2e9c105f2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03e17b5a-7c0b-4c1c-8811-2bc2e9c105f2 2nd April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.kent.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
