The buyer’s description
“South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is planning to buy on-bus technology to support bus franchising in South Yorkshire. The requirement covers Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Traffic Light Prioritisation (TLP) and Operational Communications (Radio), with Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) as a costed option; a Vehicle Edge Compute Gateway and systems integration; CCTV, including enforcement-grade CCTV; and Bridge Strike Prevention. Each solution will be supplied, installed, integrated and supported across the franchised fleet of about 723 mixed single-deck and double-deck vehicles from several manufacturers, phased in from September 2027. SYMCA wants the market's views on the proposed lots, whether the draft requirements can be delivered, the APC option, timescales, and pricing models. To take part, please email Joanna Driscoll at Joanna.Driscoll@southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk to request the engagement pack, which includes a questionnaire and a requirements response sheet. Please put "On-Bus Technology PME" in the subject line.”
