## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority is seeking an app developer for the "West Midlands Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory Project" (WM GLOSA). This project involves the creation of a mobile application to advise drivers on optimal speeds as they approach traffic signals, reducing the need to stop. The tender was published on 15 September 2017, and the procurement method used is an open procedure below the threshold, with a tender period that concluded on 29 September 2017. The contract is valued at £40,000 and extends from 16 October 2017 to 31 March 2018, with the location of delivery set in the West Midlands, England.

This tender offers significant opportunities for technology firms, particularly those specialised in IT software development and mobile applications. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the contract is designed to support business growth within this sector. Companies with experience in developing real-time data applications, particularly for transport and traffic management, would be well-suited to compete for this contract, leveraging their expertise to enhance traffic flow and driver efficiency through innovative solutions.

## Notice

This opportunity is for the development of a mobile phone app that provides speed advice to drivers approaching traffic signals to help to avoid them having to stop. The app will also collect monitoring data to determine success. The WM GLOSA project is a 12 month project (which commenced in April 2017) that was funded under the Department for Transport - Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) competition. The project lead is the West Midlands Combined Authority working with Birmingham City Council, Amey, IDT and SGTI. The Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory concept involves sourcing accurate information about traffic signal timings from the road side controller and providing them to the vehicle, so that the vehicle can calculate the most accurate speed in order to hit a green light. Additional information: Please note that start date is indicative only and will be confirmed after award. Please note that the envisaged overall value of the contract is for tendering purposes only and WMCA cannot guarantee that this level of spend will be incurred.
