## Summary

The procurement process overview indicates that East Sussex County Council, the buying organisation, has completed the awarding stage for the extension of the contract concerning Smartcard Services for English National Concessionary Fares and associated services. The contract, classified under the industry category of transport tickets (CPV 34980000), involves services within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The direct award has been made to Euclid Limited as part of a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from the West Midlands Combined Authority Framework. The contract extension, valued at £436,000, is set to commence on 1 April 2025 and conclude on 31 March 2027, aligning with a tender period deadline that ended on 3 March 2025.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in transport ticketing services to enhance growth by leveraging existing frameworks to secure repeat contracts. While the procurement method is selective, the market is relatively stable since it involves the extension of an existing contract with Euclid Limited, a large-scale supplier. Small and medium enterprises (SME) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) may have limited opportunities directly within this tender due to its framework-based restriction. However, such businesses can anticipate opportunities in auxiliary services or subcontracting roles associated with Smartcard Services.

## Notice

2 year allowable extension to this contract which started 01/04/2020. The original procurement procedure was a Direct Award to Euclid Limited, the only supplier on the West Midlands Combined Authority Framework. Extension contract value is estimated as applications and smartcard productions will vary depending on resident needs. Estimated value does also take into account inflationary and other price increases requested by the supplier. Additional information: This is an extension of a contract that was awarded via Direct Award in 2020, however the orginal award notice cannot be located. Contract value is estimated extension value only.
