This procurement is classified under data supply services and will be conducted through an open procedure. The tender is actively seeking submissions until 26th June 2019. The expected contract value is between £100,000 and £500,000, and it will cover delivery across multiple regions including the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, spanning a contract period from 1st July 2019 to 30th September 2019. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in data harvesting and analytics, particularly those specialising in mobile data solutions. Businesses well-versed in GPS data collection and providing analytical frameworks will find this procurement particularly relevant. The insights gained through this project are expected to strengthen transportation models and enhance operational capabilities within the region, making it a valuable prospect for innovative data service providers looking to expand their market footprint. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 21 June 2019 for the following reason: Deadline for submission has been extended.(1.Transport for the North (TfN) has recognised the need to provide an overarching modelling and appraisal framework for the North to enable a One North approach for data, modelling and investment decisions. As such over the past two years TfN have been developing and applying the Analytical Framework. 2.The Analytical Framework includes numerous models to forecast travel needs up to 2060. These models pivot off a base year, which needs to be robust and include as much representative observed data as possible. Observed data can be expensive, intrusive and sometimes unsafe to collect. As such, to support the Analytical Framework, TfN is looking to utilise data harvested from mobile devices to strengthen models. 3.The Analytical Framework also includes monitoring the Major Road Network (MRN) and the strategic rail network of the North. This monitoring currently uses 'low velocity' planning data to understand the characteristics of the networks and their users, as well as help understand where investment is best prioritised. In the near future this low velocity data could be used for intervention 'before and after' monitoring. The potential of 'faster velocity' data is recognised to provide nearer to real-time monitoring, as well as potential opportunities for operational tools. 4.Data harvested from mobile devices includes data from mobile phones and from a variety of GPS devices, for example in-vehicle satellite navigation devices and vehicle tracking devices. Either type of data, or a combination of the two, is expected to be able meet the requirements specified in this document. 5.Data from mobile devices is expected to provide significant data intelligence for planning requirements across the North and at an individual link and rail station level. It is expected to provide broadly consistent spatial and temporal quality across the North, including robust estimates of origin-destination movements and aggregate traveller segments.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8883882b-4a87-406e-b6cd-43ee8e6a5d6d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 26 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2019 - 30 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | 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 | TRANSPORT FOR THE NORTH | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 3BN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72314000 - Data collection and collation services - 72319000 - Data supply services ## Release History - 21 Jun 2019 at 13:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8883882b-4a87-406e-b6cd-43ee8e6a5d6d - 29 May 2019 at 14:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8883882b-4a87-406e-b6cd-43ee8e6a5d6d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8883882b-4a87-406e-b6cd-43ee8e6a5d6d 21st June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Manchester:-Mobile-Device-Data---Phase-1/Y6ZZ2C4J25 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
