## Summary

Newport City Council procured services to upgrade the passenger information systems at Friars Walk and Market Square Bus Station in Newport. The work covers hardware upgrades to existing units and software that enables Real Time Passenger Information to be displayed at every bus stand and on information boards. The requirement also includes maintenance of the upgraded system. This is a specialist transport technology and software services opportunity, involving real-time passenger information, bus station display equipment and supporting operating-system software. Delivery is in Newport, Wales, for Newport City Council. The procurement has one lot and is intended to improve the functionality of systems that were unable to display real-time information at the relevant bus station locations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Newport City Council awarded the contract to Journeo Passenger Systems Ltd on 13 August 2026. The awarded value is £49,886 excluding VAT, or £59,863 including VAT. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. A signature milestone was scheduled for 14 August 2026. The award is below the relevant threshold and covers the single completed lot. The published evaluation route was direct award without competition, so there was no competitive tender evaluation basis recorded. The contract and award are active within the completed procurement process.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for suppliers able to combine bus station passenger information technology with practical installation and maintenance capability. A credible competitor for similar work would need experience upgrading existing display hardware, integrating software with real-time passenger information systems, and enabling information to appear consistently at individual stands and central boards. Capability to support operating-system software development and maintain the resulting system would also be relevant. The buyer is a local authority procuring a focused transport technology service, so suppliers should be able to work in operational bus station environments and deliver upgrades without losing the usefulness of existing equipment. Journeo Passenger Systems Ltd’s selection indicates that specialist passenger systems expertise is relevant to this requirement.

## Notice

This upgrade work is required in Friars Walk and Market Square Bus Station to ensure the systems currently in place are able to show Real Time Passenger Information which they are currently unable to show. The work will upgrade the hardware in the units and provide the software to enable Real Time to be shown at each stand and on information boards.
