    Brief

    South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) is seeking suppliers for on-bus destination display equipment and audio-visual announcement systems to support its new bus franchising model. The contract covers approximately 700 vehicles and includes: external front, side and rear destination displays; internal next-stop displays with audio announcements; supplier-managed back office platforms for content management and system monitoring; professional installation at operator depots; integration with existing on-bus systems including an ITxPT-aligned Vehicle Compute Gateway; and full maintenance and technical support throughout the contract term. The solution must comply with the Public Service Vehicles (Accessible Information) Regulations 2023 to ensure passenger accessibility. The Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) system is being procured separately and may not be available at installation commencement. SYMCA is currently conducting preliminary market engagement to validate its requirements, approach and timeline before issuing a formal tender. Interested suppliers are encouraged to respond to a brief market engagement questionnaire; participation is voluntary and does not affect eligibility for future procurement activities.
