## Summary

Newcastle City Council, acting as the Lead Authority for the Tyne and Wear LTP partners, has completed the procurement process for the UTMC System Refresh project, which includes the extension of the existing system to meet all Durham UTMC requirements. This project falls under the IT services industry category (CPV code 72000000), covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, adhering to the regulations under the legal basis CELEX:32014L0024. Although the original tender process commenced with a tender period ending on 18 February 2024, the project has successfully progressed to the award stage, with the contract signed on 20 February 2024 for a total value of £1,462,465 GBP and a total project value noted earlier at £2,500,000 GBP. The key contract award was made to Mott MacDonald Limited.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the IT services sector, particularly those specialising in urban traffic management systems and back-office technical support. Companies with strong capabilities in software development, consulting, and Internet services would be well-suited to engage in such opportunities. Given the project's emphasis on quality (70%) and price (30%), innovative solutions that offer high-quality deliverables at competitive prices could enhance business growth and establish long-term relationships with regional authorities such as Newcastle City Council. The future options to extend the contract by up to five additional years offer further prospects for sustained business development.
