Following ITS UK’s SME & Start-Up Conference organised in December last year, we’re delighted to launch today a new services to help members navigate the intelligent transport market.

ITS UK members will now exclusively be able to access a new tender and competitions monitoring service, which will set out the latest opportunities in the market over a range of ITS disciplines.

Plus, on the third Tuesday of every month, we’ll be holding Bid Support Tuesdays – online drop-in sessions where members will be able to quiz our two bidding experts Pippa Birch and Phil Seymour on how to make their bids as effective as possible.

At the ITS UK SME and Start-Up Conference, you told us that visibility and support with tenders and bids was a key priority, and ultimately, was vital in helping your organisation succeed in the sector. So, we’re introducing these new member benefits to help you better navigate the market and find new opportunities.

Find more details about both member services below. If you have any queries, don’t hesitate to email us at contact@its-uk.org.

The new Tender and Competitions Monitoring Service will provide an update on the latest opportunities across the transport technology sector, including in areas like enforcement, traffic management, MaaS and ticketing. It will cover tenders in the following areas:

• Demand Responsive Transport
• Tolling and Road User Charging
• Passenger Experience and Journey Planning
• Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
• Ticketing and payments
• Internet of Things
• EV and Charging Technology
• Traffic Management
• Telematics and Navigation Systems
• Digital Twins and Predictive Maintenance
• Data Services and Cloud 

The Tender and Competitions Service can be found on the Members Area here.

Once you’ve logged in, simply scroll down to the bottom of the homepage and you’ll find the ‘Tender, Bids & Competitions’ page (see image). Unsure how to log in? Follow these instructions to register and create your account.

We’re launching this service as a ‘beta’, meaning we’re keen to get member feedback on what searches are useful, and how we can improve the search terms in order to make the monitoring as valuable as possible. We’d welcome your thoughts on the service via email: contact@its-uk.org
