Why Masabi — SaaS procurement

Procure modern transit tech the modern way.

Justride is available through a range of procurement frameworks — making it easier for agencies to move quickly, compare fairly, and avoid lengthy sole-source processes.

Why SaaS procurement is different

A new model needs a new procurement approach

  • Ongoing service, not a one-time purchase

    SaaS is a subscription — procurement should reflect ongoing value delivery, not a fixed capital asset.

  • Outcome-based evaluation

    Compare vendors on ridership outcomes and total cost of operation — not upfront licence fees and hardware costs.

  • Faster time to market

    Modern procurement frameworks cut months from the typical timeline — getting your riders onto a better experience sooner.

  • Avoiding lock-in from day one

    Insist on open APIs and hardware flexibility in procurement specs — it protects your agency's options for the contract term and beyond.

Available frameworks

How agencies have procured Justride

  1. NASPO & cooperative purchasing (US)

    Justride is available through cooperative purchasing vehicles — enabling agencies to piggyback on existing competitively-bid contracts.

  2. Crown Commercial Service (UK)

    Available through G-Cloud and other CCS frameworks for UK public sector bodies.

  3. Direct procurement

    Where frameworks aren't available, Masabi has experience supporting agencies through full BAFO processes — with clear documentation and reference deployments available.
