Approval was sought to increase approved spend on the Real Time Passenger Information contract (subject to receipt of grant funding) to the maximum contract value available to East Sussex (50% of the overall joint contract value with Brighton and Hove City Council) to provide the Council with the ability to purchase additional hardware during the remainder of the contract term up to 2033.

Approval of the allowed for modification to the Real Time Passenger Information contract to increase the approved spend to the maximum contract value available to East Sussex (50% of the overall joint contract value with Brighton and Hove City Council).

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option to not increase the spend to the maximum available contract value was rejected since this would mean further RTPI hardware could not be purchased to maximise the RTPI provision over the course of the contract.
