## Summary

West Yorkshire Combined Authority commissioned recurring updates to bus service maps and guides: artwork and maps for seven West Yorkshire area guides, updated six times a year, plus A4 tear-off maps for Leeds and Bradford city centres. Updates use bus service registration information supplied by email. This is a mapping, graphic design and print-production service supporting passenger information about local bus services. Delivery is in West Yorkshire, including Leeds and Bradford. The Combined Authority is the buyer. The requirement covers repeated revisions of existing map and guide materials rather than a one-off map, so relevant suppliers need to handle both artwork updates and production of clear area and city-centre bus information.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Pindar Travel Information Systems Ltd, trading as Pindar Creative. The Combined Authority used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 1 September 2026, with a contract period from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The contract value is £28,422 excluding VAT (£34,106.40 including VAT). The requirement was treated as a single lot, covering the map and guide production service. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed award criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from West Yorkshire Combined Authority for a supplier able to maintain bus service area maps and passenger guides over a multi-year service period. A credible competitor when the requirement next returns would need to combine accurate map and artwork revision with dependable, repeated production of printed materials. The work involves updating seven area map and guide sets six times annually, as well as Leeds and Bradford city-centre A4 tear-off maps, using service-registration updates supplied by email. Suppliers with established workflows for handling frequent source-data changes, maintaining consistency across a suite of maps, and delivering readable passenger information would be well placed. The award went to an SME, showing that a specialist small supplier was able to deliver this defined service requirement.
