## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded a contract extension to Systra Limited for the project titled "Use of Novel Data Sources for Demographic Analysis of Transport Behaviours". This extension, valued at £138,783.55, increases the total contract value to £416,453.55 and extends the contract period until 31 May 2025. The project falls under the IT services category, focusing on consulting, software development, Internet and support, and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure above threshold, with the tender period ending on 15 April 2024. This extension is justified under Regulation 72 (1) (b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to the need to monitor transport behaviours during the new National Bus Fare Cap policy change.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with expertise in data analysis and transport behaviour analytics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially well-suited for this contract, given their ability to offer innovative solutions and flexibility. By participating in or partnering on such tenders, businesses can enhance their portfolios, drive growth, and contribute valuable insights into public policy-making through advanced data analysis. Moreover, the delivery of a proof of concept could lead to future scalability and operationalisation, creating potential for further collaboration with the DfT and other public sector entities.

## Notice

This is an Award Notice for the Extension of DfT Contract 'Use of novel data sources for Demographic Analysis of Transport Behaviours'. The Contract is for a Supplier to deliver a proof of concept for using novel data sources (including mobile data, GPS, surveys or a combination of data sources) to produce an analysis of transport behaviours of different groups of transport users identified through cluster analysis, and how those change geographically. This Extension is being undertaken in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Contract is being extended by a further 5 months to deliver additional data collection and to incorporate the change implemented by the new administration to the National Bus Fare Cap, which was not included in the initial procurement. It is necessary to monitor transport behaviours during this Policy change. Changing suppliers is not possible for economic and technical reasons, such as interoperability and interchangeability of data collection, and would be a substantial duplication of costs. The value of the extension is PS138,783.55. This takes the total Contract value to PS416,453.55 with an end date of 31st May 2025
