MetroBus iPoints Soft Market Testing Exercise

Bristol City Council, on behalf of the West of England Authorities is seeking to investigate the market for supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of information points (‘iPoints’) at West of England MetroBus stops which shall contain Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) elements. The iPoint will have at the top a colour display screen for real time information (RTI) and a lower interactive touch-screen. The top RTI display will take a RTIG-SIRI data feed from the existing RTI supplier. The Council envisages issuing an Invitation To Tender, which is subject to the recommendations of this SMT exercise. This exercise will help develop the client specification and enable approval from the necessary financial delegated authority to be obtained.

Indicative volumes are envisaged to be approximately 79 Passenger Information Points with options for additional units and other options such as additional screens, card readers and card dispensers.

Range between: 3,000,000 and 6,000,000
