This contract, identified as LC/CORP/LCC/25/452, falls under the industry category of road-inspection services, with the delivery region being the North West of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed via a direct award through a framework, and the process is in the award stage as of 30th December 2025.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for SMEs specialising in road-inspection services, as it highlights the importance of innovative technology and efficient data management in public works projects. Businesses with capabilities in geospatial technologies and data analytics are particularly well-suited to fulfil such demands. Moreover, the direct award via framework agreements can facilitate streamlined processes for qualifying organisations, thus reducing the competitive pressure found in open tenders, potentially encouraging participation from smaller firms seeking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. The focus on regional delivery in the North West provides a strategic advantage to local businesses familiar with the region's unique infrastructure requirements.
