Request for Information: Cloud Hosted Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) System

Aberdeenshire Council has the responsibility for the Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system across both Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen City Local Authority areas and is seeking supplier information for a modern, cloud-hosted RTPI solution. This system will cover digital roadside displays and printed timetable publicity throughout the region. This RFI will help them assess market solutions capable of maintaining statutory passenger information and improving operational efficiency and value for money.

Aberdeenshire Council has published a Preliminary Market Consultation notice (PMC) on Public Contracts Scotland.  

This type of notice is intended to help buyers potentially source or create innovative goods, works or services for the public sector in Scotland. It is NOT a regulated procurement notice and is NOT an intention to procure goods, services, or works at this point. Before commencing appropriate procurement activity, buyers may consider it appropriate to conduct market consultation. Within an innovation context this can be helpful when seeking or accepting advice from independent experts, authorities or from market participants. It can also be important to consult market participants when assessing the development of the market and planning subsequent potential procurement processes. Where ‘contract’ and ‘procurement’ is referenced in the Notice, this refers to the Consultation and NOT a contract or procurement.
