Located in North Yorkshire, this is a planning stage tender initiated on 9th June 2026. Interested suppliers are invited to engage in a Meet the Buyer event scheduled to occur around a request for information, all aimed at exploring potential solutions for a Passenger Transport System to be implemented by 1st May 2027. Key stakeholder engagement activities are due by 3rd July 2026, with the entire process adhering to the procurement laws as per the UKPGA 2023/54. This tender presents vital opportunities for both SMEs and VCSEs, making it a robust prospect for businesses specialising in integrated system solutions. By engaging in the preliminary market engagement activities and eventual competitive process, businesses can showcase their innovative products, expand their service delivery capacities, and enhance their market standing. Suppliers with experience in delivering commercial off-the-shelf solutions, particularly in the transport or IT sectors, will find this opportunity well aligned with their growth strategies. ## Notice North Yorkshire Council (the Authority) is requesting information from suppliers to help determine the scope and feasibility of its requirement, to understand the range of potential solutions available in the market, and to inform any potential future procurement exercise for a Passenger Transport System (the System). The Authority is also inviting interested suppliers to a Meet the Buyer Event where the Authority would like to engage with interested suppliers further as part of a question-and-answer session to gather feedback on the feasibility of its proposal, the proposed procurement approach, as well as any technical queries. The Authority have been undertaking work internally to understand the scope, business processes, customer journey, and interfaces/interactions that the existing in-house System currently provides (in addition to what it should but does not provide). The Authority is not looking to replace the System like for like and is instead interested in one or more commercial off the shelf solutions that can provide one or more capabilities that will work together to deliver a coherent replacement. ### Planning Information https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=106232&TID=100111340&B= The opportunity can be accessed via the Authority's eTendering portal Yortender and searching for ID: 100111340.
