This tender is classified under the industry category of Miscellaneous Software Packages and Computer Systems, with the goal of enhancing the management of approximately 200 bus services operated under contract by Nexus. Currently in the planning stage, the opportunity is set to be formally announced on 31 March 2021. Interested parties should note that the system's requirements include a web-based solution to be initially hosted by Nexus, utilising the C# programming language for development. This tender presents significant opportunities for software development firms, particularly those specialising in creating tailored contract management systems and solutions for public transportation. Businesses that can deliver a comprehensive platform capable of managing, monitoring, and calculating payments for contracted services would be well-suited to compete. Given the emphasis on a web-based application, companies with experience in SaaS (Software as a Service) and cloud transition strategies will find this opportunity particularly relevant. Interested vendors are encouraged to engage with Nexus prior to the release of the tender documents to understand the requirements fully. ## Notice Nexus will shortly be issuing an ITT for the development for a Bus Contracts Monitoring and Payments system. This system will be used to monitor the performance of the approximately 200 bus services operated under contract and paid for by Nexus. The opportunity is to develop a software solution to consolidate all aspects of bus contract management including the performance of the bus service, financial calculation and management of such contracts. Contract management is currently carried out using a number of stand-alone software packages. The current system is a desk top solution hosted by Nexus, it is intended to replace this system with a web based solution written in a prescribed programming language, C#. This opportunity is for the supply and installation of a new, single software solution which consolidates all current aspects of contract management. The proposed system should, as a minimum, be fully populated with all current or live bus contracts. Nexus intend that this software will be web based, written in a prescribed programming language, C#, initially hosted by Nexus, transportable, to be possibly moved into the cloud at a later date. The required system must allow Nexus to manage, monitor the performance of, administer and calculate payments for its contracted bus services. The contracts are awarded by Nexus to bus operators who must also have access to the system in order that they can comply with their contractual obligations. For further information regarding the tender opportunity Nexus would like to offer a briefing session to interested parties prior to the release of the tender documents. Please contact Tenders@nexus.org.uk for further details. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Nexus will shortly be issuing an ITT for the development for a Bus Contracts Monitoring and Payments system.
