## Summary

Milton Keynes City Council procured a supplier-hosted digital mapping platform for its public transport network, classified as digital mapping and industry-specific software (CPV 48326100). The service is intended to give passengers clear, accurate and accessible information about the Milton Keynes bus network across digital channels and devices. It must support interactive geographical mapping and bespoke public transport maps, with information maintained as routes and services change. The council also seeks to reduce manual map maintenance after network changes and provide passengers with a consistent, easy-to-understand view. This is a public transport information and software service rather than a construction or physical mapping project. Delivery is focused on the Milton Keynes bus network and its passengers. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Milton Keynes City Council awarded the contract to Pindar Travel Information Systems Limited on 18 August 2026. The award value is £80,000, with an estimated procurement range of £51,540 to £80,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was procured as a services contract. The award is active and covers the supplier-hosted mapping solution for the council’s bus network. There are no lots or separate awards identified, so the stated value and contract period relate to the single awarded requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist transport information software that combines geographical mapping, bespoke bus-network mapping and ongoing content maintenance. Suppliers competing for similar work with this council would need a hosted platform that can present reliable passenger information across websites, mobile devices and other digital channels, while accommodating route and service changes without extensive manual redrawing. Credible providers would also need practical experience of public transport mapping, transport data management, accessible passenger communications and integration with the council’s digital services. The ability to produce clear, consistent maps for changing bus networks is central to the requirement. An SME-scale supplier has secured the work, indicating that a focused specialist business with suitable platform capability and delivery capacity can compete for this type of public-sector service.
