Modernising public transport
As demands on the UK’s transport network grow, the Crown Commercial Service Transport Technology Framework gives public sector organisations a straightforward way to access the tools, expertise and suppliers they need to modernise services, integrate systems and deliver cleaner, smarter and more resilient transport for their communities
Transport technology has become essential for the public sector as the demands on the UK’s transport network are evolving at speed. Public bodies are expected to deliver cleaner, smarter and more reliable travel while managing rising congestion, shifting energy systems and growing expectations for digital services. Modern transport technology gives authorities the tools to integrate complex systems, improve accessibility, cut emissions and provide better value for money. It is now a core part of building a resilient and future ready transport network that supports citizens and communities.
The Transport Technology Framework from Crown Commercial Service provides products, services and software for public sector transport authorities. It helps public sector organisations find transport solutions across urban, rural and intercity and can be used by any public sector organisation.
It also supports the UK’s transport policy initiatives such as transition to clean energy, by granting access to technologies like electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure; smart ticketing systems; ai-powered traffic management tools; transport system integration; parking management solutions; environmental monitoring; and transport enforcement and compliance solutions.
The framework gives public sector buyers a straightforward way to access a wide range of transport products, software and services from high-quality suppliers with proven expertise in their markets. The framework removes maximum call off terms and other limits, offers flexible routes to buy and introduces updated contract terms that can support different commercial needs. Buyers also benefit from clear guidance documents and ready-to-use templates that make procurement faster and more consistent. Every supplier has committed to the requirements of Procurement Policy Note 006 on carbon reduction, and where a carbon reduction plan is required it is available on the supplier’s individual details page.
