This project focuses on installing Real-Time Information (RTI) displays and QR codes for smart-phone accessible bus information at key bus stops. The buying organisation is seeking to procure a Prediction Engine and Content Management System (CMS) to manage predicted bus arrival times. The market engagement notice was published on 29th October 2025, with a deadline for Market Testing Returns set for 19th November 2025. This procurement, categorised under the goods and services industry, takes place in Warwick, UK, and provides potential suppliers with the opportunity to engage via the WarwickshireCC e-tendering system. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in real-time passenger information systems and related technologies. Companies specialising in prediction engines, content management systems, and digital transport solutions are well-suited to compete. The project will require suppliers who can deliver innovative solutions for real-time data dissemination and enhance the public transport user experience across Warwickshire. Given its suitability for SMEs, small and medium enterprises have viable prospects to secure contracts in this venture, opening avenues for long-term collaborations with a local government authority. ## Notice Warwickshire Council has received Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) Capital Funding for 2025-26 from the Department for Transport (DfT) to deliver a programme of prioritised capital measures taken from the Warwickshire BSIP document agreed by Cabinet in July 2025. The measures include transformational components listed as follows: * Further Real-Time Information (RTI) displays at high-priority bus stops across the county; and * QR codes linking RTI bus information on to smart-phones. To deliver the above, the Council would need to procure a Prediction Engine and Content Management System (CMS) to feed predicted bus arrival times from various feeds to the measures listed above. ### Planning Information Warwickshire County Council will be using its e-tendering system (WarwickshireCC) for the administration of this market engagement.
