Future Real Time Passenger Information Displays

Tender description

The Future Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) Displays procurement will set up a contract for the supply of Light Emitting Diode (LED) RTPI Displays. These RTPI Displays need to be similar to the Authority’s existing displays but supplying new display, power and maintenance technologies including any required fixtures and fittings necessary for installation to poles or shelters. Future RTPI Displays will interface with an existing RTPI back office system via a single board computer, thus the focus of this procurement is on the supply of interoperable RTPI Displays only and does not include supply of additional back office systems. Further to LED RTPI Displays, the NTA is also looking to purchase TFT Bus Stop Displays, subject to demonstration of their ability outside and a number of TFT Displays of varying sizes to replace existing displays in foyers and external locations, should they need to be replaced within the life of the Contract. To ensure interoperability, these TFT Displays will interface with an existing back office via a thin client computer. There will also be a need to supply a limited number of other RTPI Display types for research purposes. For the purpose of interoperability, all Future RTPI Displays purchased will be installed and maintained by an existing NTA contract service provider. It is expected that the NTA will purchase, but not commit to, around €2m worth of Displays, although this may increase to (but not be committed to) around €5m over the life of the five year (maximum) contract period.
