Show previous updates

14 May 2026: New versions of the competitive selection templates have been uploaded to the documents list. Following feedback from both buyers and suppliers, the competitive selection request for quote template (used by buyers to communicate requirements on the Basware digital platform) and the competitive selection full service offer template (used by suppliers to respond to a Request for Quote) have been revised to simplify their completion. A review of templates for the award without competition (AWOC) process is underway.

09 February 2026: We recorded a video about supplier and buyer guidance for the ‘end-to-end’ process of uploading an offer and responding to a request for quote (RFQ) on the Digital Platform/Basware, using digital platform competitive selection. You can watch a demonstration of the digital platform on YouTube.

15 January 2026: The digital platform site for award without competition (AWOC) and competitive selection currently hosted by Basware is being replaced by a new version on Friday 16 January 2026. This is to correct some system issues with the version published at launch. Supplier offers will need to be re-uploaded when the new version is available. The changes should improve the platform for all but we do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

28 November 2025: We held a supplier induction webinar. If you missed the event you can watch the video on our YouTube.

Description

Helps public sector organisations find transport solutions across urban, rural and intercity. It also supports the UK’s transport policy initiatives such as the transition to clean energy.

It supports the UK’s transport goals by giving access to technologies such as: 

• electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure
• smart ticketing systems 
• ai-powered traffic management tools
• transport system integration
• parking management solutions
• environmental monitoring
• transport enforcement and compliance solutions

Supplier limits and contract value restrictions have been removed. This creates better value for: 

• public money
• supporting small and medium-sized businesses 
• improving the travel experience for citizens through modern transport systems

RM6347 Transport Technology currently supports hundreds of suppliers offering thousands of transport solutions. It helps public sector organisations modernise their infrastructure, improve citizen services and reduce emissions.

Agreement length 

RM6347 will run for two years. It will reopen in October 2026 with RM6347.2 Transport Technology (opening 2).

Benefits

• a wide range of transport products, software and services
• high-quality suppliers from specific markets
• no maximum call-off terms or other limits
• different ways to buy
• new contract terms to support different commercial needs
• guidance documents and templates to make buying easy

Carbon Reduction

All suppliers have committed to comply with Procurement Policy Note 006, 'Taking account of Carbon Reduction Plans in the procurement of major government contracts' as required. If a supplier is required to publish a carbon reduction plan, you can find it on their individual supplier details page.

When you can't use this agreement

• For buying, leasing, or renting vehicles: use RM6244 Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles or the upcoming RM6382 Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles
• Concession contracts: whilst Transport Technology can support revenue-sharing arrangements under a service contract, it does not provide a route to award concession contracts. Buyers should seek legal advice if they are concerned that an arrangement might fall under the definition of a concession contract.
• Major construction works: for major civil engineering or building construction (outside of minor works directly associated with the installation of transport technology), use RM6088 Construction Works and Associated Services
• General logistics and warehousing: for standalone storage, warehousing, or freight transport: use RM6329 Logistics Services. Note: transport routing and rostering software technologies remain in scope of RM6347.2

How to buy

Buyer guidance

We have created a buyer guide document to help you with your buying. This document answers common questions and explains how to use the agreement. You can find it in the documents section of the agreement webpage.

Pre-market engagement

Pre-market engagement is an essential step in any procurement process. We recommend allowing enough time to complete this step. Our guidance explains how to run pre-market engagement. It will help you informally gather information to:

• shape your needs
• understand market developments
• raise supplier awareness and interest

Routes to market 

There are three routes to market under this agreement:

• Competitive Selection Procedure
• RFQ / Digital Platform Competitive Selection
• Award Without Competition

1. Competitive Selection Procedure

If you plan to use the competitive selection procedure, you should first read the buyer guide. You can use your organisation’s sourcing tool or the GCA eSourcing tool (Jaggaer) to run your process. If this is your first time using the eSourcing tool, you will need to fill out the eSourcing registration form.

Steps:

1. Access the agreement: review framework guidance and get necessary internal budget approvals. Check compliance with Cabinet Office Spend Controls or relevant playbooks.
2. Engage with suppliers: conduct pre-market engagement (such as issuing an RFI – Request for Information) or hosting a ‘Meet the Buyer’ event). Invite all suppliers on your chosen lot.
3. Create specification and evaluation criteria: define your statement of requirements. Select quality criteria, establish price mechanisms, and incorporate social value criteria.
4. Prepare tender documents: complete documents including your:
   1. Invitation to Tender (ITT)
   2. mandatory and optional schedules
   3. timetable
   4. evaluation criteria
   5. conditions of participation
   6. draft call-off order form.
5. Issue tender: invite all suppliers on the relevant lot to bid.
6. Evaluate suppliers: assess all participating suppliers fairly against your set criteria.
7. Communicate outcomes: notify all suppliers with written feedback and scoring breakdowns. Observe a standstill period if applicable, and publish required transparency notices.
8. Finalise contract: complete, sign, and issue the call-off order form.

RFQ / Digital Platform Competitive Selection

This route allows you to conduct a streamlined competitive selection process. You can do this directly through the GCA Digital Platform (Basware). It is suitable for simple, easily defined goods and services. 

We would encourage you to raise awareness about the upcoming opportunity. You can engage with all suppliers on the applicable lot using the digital platform. This will ensure that all suitable suppliers register on the platform with their capabilities listed. 

Steps:

1. Start the RFQ: complete an RFQ template. We recommend using the digital platform competitive selection RFQ template). Define your requirements, evaluation mechanism, and submission deadline.
2. Filter and issue on Digital Platform: send your completed RFQ template. You can use filters for specific capabilities to send it directly to suitable suppliers.
3. Clarifications: these are currently managed outside of the platform. Please ensure you keep a record of questions and answers, and ensure you share these with all buyers.
4. Receive supplier responses: suppliers upload their completed Competitive Selection Full Service Offer Templates. They must upload it onto the Digital Platform (Basware) by your deadline.
5. Evaluate offers: assess all submitted offers. You must test them against the evaluation mechanism set out in your initial RFQ.
6. Award and contract: select the most advantageous tender based on your evaluation.  Notify the winning provider, and complete the call-off order form.

3. Award Without Competition

Award without competition is an available route to market for simple requirements. Evaluation is conducted strictly on price, based on supplier offers listed on the GCA Digital Platform (Basware).

Note: this route cannot be used for the delivery of works.

To access the digital platform, you must complete the Digital Platform Registration Form. You can then sign the user agreement, and obtain login credentials. 

Buyers must also register on the Central Digital Platform to comply with the Procurement Act 2023.

Steps:

1. Obtain internal approval: secure approval within your organisation for an award without competition.
2. Identify your needs: define your requirements. You can do pre-market engagement with RFI across all suppliers,  if necessary.
3. Access the digital platform: log in to view supplier published items. Filter by lot and service line to identify options that meet your needs.
4. Perform supplier checks: verify supplier eligibility. Confirm no suppliers are on the debarment list.
5. Apply award mechanism: select the qualified supplier offering the lowest price. Ensure their offer meets your specification.
6. Publish notices and issue contract: consider publishing a Transparency Notice before awarding. Notify the winning supplier, and execute a fully signed call-off order form. 
7. Note: simply placing an order via the digital platform basket does not meet call-off requirements.

For full contract terms and detailed step-by-step guidance, refer to the main buyer guide. There are also some supplementary digital platform guides. You can find both in the documents section on this page.
