The project, part of the services category in the network operating system software development services, aimed to improve the Luton DART website and digital ticketing capabilities. The procurement method was an open procedure with a contract period starting on September 10, 2024, and ending on September 9, 2029. The tender period ended on May 16, 2024, with a contract value of £683,865, and the project was aimed at enhancing passenger interchange, accessibility, and environmental sustainability. This public procurement opportunity created by Luton Council for the Luton DART project offers growth prospects for businesses in software development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in network operating system software development are well-suited to compete. The project focuses on improving digital services to boost market development, increase rail usage, and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with broader environmental and economic growth objectives. Businesses with expertise in digital ticketing and transport technology can leverage this tender to contribute to enhanced passenger experiences and sustainable travel solutions in the transportation sector. ## Notice Luton DART, which was launched in March 2023, and is a fast transit system that will link London Luton Airport with Luton Airport Parkway station and is capable of moving passengers to/from airport in four minutes. The project included the creation of a terminal station building and platforms, a multi-storey car park, with drop off and pick up areas, a public transport interchange, and provision for retail and commercial space. Clearly the aim of DART is to ameliorate passenger interchange between the station and airport terminal previously served by bus, which will not only benefit airport passengers, but improve access and social inclusion, serve airport businesses and their staff, and contribute to long-term economic growth and employment. Another key aim of the project was to support seamless journeys e.g. St Pancras, to London Luton Airport in 32 minutes, develop other rail markets e.g., in the East Midlands and achieve mode share targets by rail to reduce carbon emissions. Luton DART is seeking to improve the existing website and its digital ticketing capabilities, so it is better positioned to develop the market, increase mode share to rail and reduce carbon emissions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7fa9328-4a4a-47b6-bdbf-52461c0116b5 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 16 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 15 Jul 2024 | | Contract period | 9 Sep 2024 - 9 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £683,865 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LUTON COUNCIL | | Locality | LUTON | | Post town | Luton | | Postcode | LU1 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH21 Luton | | Local authority | Luton | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Luton South and South Bedfordshire | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | RE:SYSTEMS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212214 - Network operating system software development services ## Release History - 16 Jul 2024 at 09:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7fa9328-4a4a-47b6-bdbf-52461c0116b5 - 15 Apr 2024 at 14:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a3223ca-dbc1-4577-8da9-1e5f727b517d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c7fa9328-4a4a-47b6-bdbf-52461c0116b5 16th July 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7a3223ca-dbc1-4577-8da9-1e5f727b517d 15th April 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=9623cf39-24d6-ee11-8127-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.luton.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
