French public transport purchasing centre
Created in 2011 by local elected officials, CATP is a service offered by AGIR Transport to all public buyers. A “100% local authorities” purchasing centre, it pools mobility purchases: buses and coaches, bicycles, operation and maintenance, consultancy services, systems, software and digital.
Financial benefits
Less time spent by procurement, legal and operational teams, less administrative back-and-forth and fewer hidden internal coordination costs.
A pricing framework built on pooled public demand, making it easier to compare scenarios and make budget decisions.
Vehicles, doors, features, interfaces and service level: the scope breaks down into clear scenarios.
No lengthy or unsuccessful procedure: the project moves faster towards ordering, installation and putting the data to use.
Organisational benefits
Your teams focus on what matters: scope, schedule, installation, expected data, interfaces and operating arrangements.
Using a purchasing centre relies on a framework compliant with public procurement rules (articles L2113-2 and L2113-4 of the French Public Procurement Code), provided its terms of use are respected.
Less time spent purchasing means faster commissioning and ridership data available sooner.
A clear framework sets out the roles of transport authority, operator and supplier: vehicles, installation, acceptance, training and data access.
