Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process managed by Kent County Council involved the "Imcity and TMS" contract aimed at ongoing maintenance to support an existing Urban Traffic Management and Control System. The process, classified under the "Industry specific software package" category, was completed through a direct procurement method known as a single tender action. Located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, the tender period concluded on 25th February 2025, with an active award issued on 28th February 2025. The contract, valued at £111,000, spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in software services within the industry-specific category. The contract's nature, focusing on urban traffic management solutions, is well-suited for companies with expertise in maintaining and enhancing traffic control systems.
