## Summary

The public procurement process initiated by Translink, based in Belfast, involves the tender for the "P-0974 Supply of Public Transport Planning Tool." This project falls within the IT services industry category, specifically focusing on consulting and software development. The contract was awarded to PODARIS LIMITED on 12 February 2021, following an open procurement method, which allows for broad participation. While the process has now completed, Translink emphasises the importance of timely submissions and provides a standstill period of at least 10 days for unsuccessful bidders to challenge the award decision.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software as a service (SaaS) platforms, particularly those with experience in public transport planning and demographic analysis tools. Companies with capabilities in software development, cloud hosting, and the integration of geographic information systems would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders. Engaging with Translink's projects can not only enhance a supplier's portfolio but also establish a valuable partnership in the public transport sector across the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Translink wishes to invite tenders for the provision of a "software as a service" (SaaS), fully-hosted, cloud-based Public Transport Planning Platform. The aim of the web-based tool is to map transport routes and services and assess the impact of demographics and changes to routes. The software must create route and schedule scenarios and edit existing routes on a single, web-based map application. It should also generate demographic and accessibility analysis through built-in or importable layers/geographic files and generate isochrone visualisations. In addition, the software should also compute accurate cost and resource requirement estimates.
