## Summary

Sheffield City Council has concluded the procurement process for its Public Transport Priority System, an initiative designed to optimise traffic signal priority for buses and trams within Sheffield. Categorised under software package and information systems, this project is critical to the city's intelligent transport systems, impacting over 200 sites and integrating traffic management at complex junctions. The process reached the award stage with the status 'complete', and the contract was signed on 1st September 2025, with a tenure lasting until 31st August 2028, and an option for a one-year extension. The procurement method employed was direct, being a below-threshold process without competition.

The awarded contract presents significant opportunities for the software and transport management sectors, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Underdog Software Ltd, the appointed supplier. With a total contract value of £52,800, businesses that specialise in developing intelligent transport solutions, traffic signal systems, or have expertise in public transit infrastructure, stand to benefit considerably. The project reinforces the efficacy of public transportation within urban environments, thus further enhancing the business landscape for firms focusing on innovative transit technologies and city infrastructure.

## Notice

An integral part of SCC intelligent transport systems to provide traffic signal priority to buses at over 200 sites along 12 corridors, enable tram priority where the tram network interacts with the public highway and implement traffic management strategies at approximately 10 complex junctions around the city.
