Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames commissioned an extension to its highways asset-management software, which supports the Council’s statutory responsibility for maintaining roads under the Highways Act 1980. The system is used to adopt and maintain roads and to manage street works carried out by utility companies. The work is software remedial services intended to address problems with the existing system. The results of those remedial works will inform the Council’s approach to the system over the following five years: either procuring a replacement or retaining the incumbent system. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based in Kingston upon Thames.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Causeway Technologies Ltd. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The awarded value is £123,471. The requirement was handled as a direct award, rather than an open competition, and relates to an extension of the existing software contract for remedial works. The tender’s stated response deadline was 3 September 2026. There is one award and no lots are described. No evaluation criteria are reported, so the outcome reflects a direct award rather than a published competitive evaluation. The work’s purpose is to resolve issues with the current highways system and provide a basis for the Council’s longer-term system strategy.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Kingston, this award shows demand for specialist support of highways asset-management software already used by the Council, particularly remedial work that can restore or stabilise an incumbent system. A credible competitor would need practical experience diagnosing and resolving software defects in a live local-authority highways environment, and an understanding of road adoption, maintenance duties and utility streetworks management. The work is tied to the Council’s existing system and statutory processes, so the ability to work with established software and operational data is commercially relevant. The Council’s eventual choice between retaining its incumbent system and procuring a replacement will be informed by the remedial-work outcome; suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable technical delivery and relevant highways-system expertise.
