Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council is inviting tenders for the "SS17 105 Urban Traffic Control System" aimed at optimising traffic signal efficiency on the Kent highway network. This procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category, with a contract valued at £150,000. The tender period ends on 5th March 2018, and the successful contractor will begin maintenance and support services from 1st April 2018. The contract is set for an initial six-year term, with up to two possible two-year extensions, potentially lasting a maximum of ten years. The services will be delivered primarily in the South East region of the United Kingdom, specifically at Aylesford, due to communication constraints that necessitate a locally hosted system.

The tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) sector, particularly those specialising in traffic management solutions and software systems. Suppliers offering modern communication technologies, cloud solutions, and maintenance services will find this tender particularly relevant. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to bid, as the procurement is suitable for them, fostering competition and innovation in a steadily modernising field.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SS17 105 Urban Traffic Control System

Notice Description

Traffic on the Kent highway network is managed using traffic signals to optimise the efficiency of many major junctions. Sites are often linked to provide wide co-ordination using a dynamic control system reacting to vehicle flows. KCC have used an Urban Traffic Control (UTC) System since 1980 which uses the adaptive traffic control algorithm SCOOT. The tender is for the supply of a new system including the provision of maintenance and support starting 1st April 2018: * Due to technical communication constraints we will seek to procure a locally hosted system at Aylesford. * The contract term will be an initial six year term with two possible extensions of a further two years each, to a maximum of ten years. * As the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) industry is embracing modern communications technology, we will use this as a springboard to migrate to a modern system, update and standardise communications and look to embrace cloud offerings further into this contract when the infrastructure is more stable and proven.
