## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council procured a software service for the end-to-end management of home-to-school transport, including ad hoc journeys. The requirement covers software packages and information systems used to administer transport arrangements, rather than the direct provision of transport services. The service is delivered for Nottinghamshire County Council, with the stated delivery location in England, United Kingdom. This is a public-sector digital and transport-management opportunity for suppliers providing specialist systems, implementation and associated service support. The council is the buyer and the selected supplier is Digital Dispatch Intl, an SME. The procurement is categorised as a services requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Digital Dispatch Intl on 11 May 2026. The award value is £228,505.68. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2030. It followed an open procedure, with the tender submission deadline on 30 April 2026 at 12:00. The published requirement had an estimated value of £228,505.68 and was assessed as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement information. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist software that can manage home-to-school transport across its full operating cycle, including ad hoc journeys. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have a proven transport-management platform, practical experience supporting education or local-authority transport operations, and the ability to configure systems around changing journeys and administrative workflows. Credibility would also depend on reliable implementation, user support, data handling and service continuity, since the system would underpin an ongoing public service. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist technology business can compete for this type of council requirement through an open procurement route.
