Enhanced Infrastructure Framework Agreement contract awards
with
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA)
Contract awards: Birmingham City Centre and Sprint Bus Rapid
Transit Corridors
21st Century Technology plc (AIM: C21), the specialist provider
of integrated systems and software to the passenger transport
markets, is pleased to announce it has secured contract awards with
West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), valued at approximately
GBP0.8m.
The awards include works to enhance existing passenger
information displays throughout Birmingham City centre, valued at
GBP0.3m within the current year, and the installation of new
passenger information displays and public Wi-Fi for the first of
the new Sprint Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridors valued at GBP0.5m
commencing in 2020.
In the current financial year, 21(st) Century will deliver
upgraded technology to Birmingham City Centre passenger information
totems, replacing orange-LED displays with new, multi-colour LEDs;
believed to be the first of their kind deployed in the UK transport
market.
The award also includes the provision of 21(st) Century's
integrated technology to the first tranche of the new contemporary
design bus shelters, being deployed throughout the West Midlands,
specifically for the Sprint BRT corridors; enhancing transport
infrastructure in the region. As part of the works, which are due
to commence in H1 2020, 21(st) Century will be installing advanced
displays and communications technologies. The framework allows WMCA
to select from a number of additional options for application in
the shelters, which would see the value increase.
The Sprint project is being managed by Transport for West
Midlands (TfWM), the public body responsible for coordinating
transport services on behalf of WMCA. The SPRINT network will
eventually be made up of seven routes, the first tranche covering
three routes.
Russ Singleton, Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are
absolutely delighted to be working so closely with TfWM and WMCA to
deliver pioneering projects as Birmingham prepares itself for the
world's focus during the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The projects
awarded to us are built around technologies developed by 21(st)
Century and give the authority the option to deploy a number of our
new and innovative systems that could help revolutionise
accessibility and promote the Sprint services, encouraging the use
of passenger transport throughout the West Midlands region".
