The tender, titled "CPU 5277 Passenger Transport Logistics (Home to School) Software System," is in the active tender stage with an end deadline for submissions on 24th October 2025. This procurement falls within the 'services' industry category and covers software packages and IT services. It is directed to serve Nottingham, UK, and is structured as an open competitive flexible procedure. Key dates include an enquiry period ending on 17th October 2025 and an award period ending on 1st February 2026. The project aligns with Nottingham City Council’s strategic priorities like digital modernisation, smart city readiness, and data-driven decision-making. This procurement presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services and software development, particularly those experienced in delivering cloud-based solutions with capabilities in route optimisation, real-time tracking, and integrated reporting. Companies with a strong background in developing scalable, compliant, and accessible systems will find this tender well-suited to their expertise. Furthermore, the requirements for high-quality functional specifications and competitive pricing criteria offer SMEs a significant opportunity to compete effectively. The projected budget of up to £300,000 underscores the Council’s commitment to investing in a modernised system, creating substantial room for business growth and collaboration over a potential duration of up to seven years, inclusive of extension options. ## Notice Our current system (Transys) is outdated and no longer fit for purpose in its current version. A modern replacement is essential to meet legal obligations, improve service quality, and control costs. The Authority now wants to adopt a cloud-based transport system that offers route optimisation, real-time tracking, and integrated reporting (some of which will be compulsory reporting to DofE). Nottingham City Council wants the new contract to align with the following strategic priorities: * Digital Modernisation: The new system will be cloud-based, scalable and user-friendly, replacing legacy infrastructure. * Data-Driven Decisions: It will enable accurate reporting, performance monitoring, and financial forecasting. * Smart City Readiness: The system can integrate with mapping, tracking, and future mobility services. * Digital Inclusion: Accessible across devices, with single sign-on and compliance with accessibility standards. * Data Governance: Secure, compliant data storage with audit trails and IT-reviewed security protocols. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The initial contract duration will be for 3-years years with a possible two extension(s) of 1-year at the Authority's discretion. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059449-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 24 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2026 - 31 Jan 2029 | | Recurrence | 2029-02-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | £250,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 24 Sep 2025 at 16:24 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059449-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/059449-2025 24th September 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - www.eastmidstenders.org ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
