The brief

Newcastle City Council ("NCC") is lead authority for the procurement of a technology solution, detailed below, on behalf of a consortium of local authorities covered by the North East Combined Authority and the North of Tyne Combined Authority.

The technology solution is being funded by the Department of Transport's Transforming Cities Fund.

NCC intends to award a long term contract for a Supplier (the "Supplier").

The Partnership will be an exclusive opportunity to design, construct and operate the initial system identified.
