## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council, working with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, procured real-time passenger information at bus stops. The requirement is for a real-time passenger information system, classified as goods, to provide passengers with information at bus stops. Delivery is in North Northamptonshire. The collaboration with the combined authority forms part of the arrangement, although the published scope does not explain the division of responsibilities between the two councils.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to VIX Technology UK Limited. The award was made on 23 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 28 February 2031. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT, with a gross value of £100,000. The procurement used a below-threshold direct award without competition. There was one lot, covering the real-time passenger information system, and the award is active. The available evaluation information does not state specific award criteria.

For suppliers seeking to compete when North Northamptonshire Council’s bus-stop information requirement next comes to market, this award shows demand for a real-time passenger information system delivered in collaboration with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its system can provide passenger information at bus stops and be implemented across North Northamptonshire. Experience supplying or supporting real-time passenger information systems would be relevant to establishing that capability. The selected supplier is a technology company, indicating that this requirement was placed with a specialist provider rather than a general works contractor. The procurement was made by direct award without competition, so this outcome does not show how the buyer would assess competing bids or what specific technical, service or supplier qualifications it would require in a future process.
