## Summary

Merseytravel, a buyer organisation based in Liverpool, England, has initiated a planning stage tender titled "3rd Party Hosting of DIVA and EFA" in the Real-time passenger information system industry category. The deadline for engagement is set for 24th July 2023. The tender involves migrating timetable and stops data to cloud systems and ongoing hosting of software, with remote access for data management in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This opportunity for business growth is suited for contractors with expertise in cloud hosting services and data migration, particularly those experienced with Merseytravel's DIVA and EFA software. Small and medium-sized enterprises are well-suited for this tender. Businesses interested in this opportunity can contact the procurement team at Merseytravel via email at procurement@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk.

## Notice

Merseytravel currently maintains a timetable and bus stop database, and a journey planner using Mentz DIVA and EFA software, hosted in our data centres on-Premise. We are looking to move these systems into the cloud, with Merseytravel staff continuing to update and maintain the timetable and stops data remotely. Merseytravel requires a contractor who can: * Install DIVA and EFA in the cloud to match functionality of our existing DIVA/EFA setup, and work with the software vendor (Mentz) to keep the software up to date and running smoothly. * Migrate our timetable and stops data from our on-Premise Oracle DIVA database to the cloud system (cloud system to use PostgreSQL as the database platform). * Provide ongoing hosting of the DIVA/EFA software with remote access for our users to import, edit and export timetable and stops data. * Undertake weekly exports of DIVA timetables to the cloud-hosted EFA journey planner. At this time Merseytravel is seeking to make potential contractors aware of the opportunity and would welcome contact from contractors who have this capability. Interested parties should contact procurement@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk in the first instance.
