Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process concerns the provision of the "Stopped Vehicle Detection (SVD) 2020 (Lot 1)" led by Highways England, a key organisation in the UK's transport sector, located in Birmingham. This procurement, which falls under the category of miscellaneous transport equipment and spare parts, is currently in the award stage with an active contract valued at £25,750,000. The contract signed on 7th August 2020 has a duration of four years, ending on 15th July 2024, focusing on delivering radar technology to improve road safety across England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in radar technology, software development, and equipment supply. Companies that can provide radar units, commissioning, and support services, particularly those with experience in inter-operating with existing technologies, will be well-placed to compete. The additional requirement for more radar units, resulting from a recent technical review, means that suppliers capable of meeting these specific needs will have a chance to enter or expand within the market, potentially generating substantial contracts in the ongoing framework.

                    "description": "Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract): The current framework for the provision of a Lot 1 Stopped Vehicle Detection (SVD) solution was awarded on 16 July 2020 for a 4-year term with an expiry date of 15 July 2024. The original scope and estimated value for the supply of SVD radar under this framework was determined based on the understanding that radar units would be sited on average 500m apart on the Strategic Road Network (SRN). Since the award of this framework, a detailed technical review was undertaken to determine the optimal spacing of radar. This review determined that it was optimal to locate SVD radar technology to make use of as much existing infrastructure as possible whilst still delivering the required degree of effectiveness of detection on the road network, and therefore units would be sited on average 300 metres apart in all future installations. As a result of the decision, additional radar units and associated commissioning and support services have become necessary under this framework. The estimated value of the additional supplies and services is PS7.75m. A modification to the framework is therefore required in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional services and supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the original procurement, where a change of contractor: cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority; And the increase in price does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: In order to meet the increased density requirements, additional radar units are required and these will need to be inter-operable with the existing Navtech radar supplied under the current framework. No other provider could supply the Navtech radar without the agreement of Navtech, and even if Navtech gave its agreement for another provider to supply its radar, no other provider could supply the Navtech radar and associated commissioning and support services without a considerable increase in price compared to Navtech supplying its radar directly. These are the economic and technical reasons why a change of contractor cannot be made. Furthermore, if it were possible it would cause substantial inconvenience and duplication of costs to engage any other contractor to provide the additional supplies and services, when the majority of the radar units, commissioning and support will be provided by the existing supplier under this framework."
