Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council recently completed a procurement process for a Winter Service Fleet Tracking System to monitor and record gritting activities on its road network. The contract, awarded to E-pire Ltd, is valued at £49,068 and was signed on 25th October 2023. The system is web-based and accessible to council staff and contractors managing the winter fleet. The procurement process was open, and the main procurement category was services, with the contract now being active. For interested businesses, this opportunity could benefit companies offering telematics services and related technology for fleet tracking.

Devon County Council is currently planning to replace its existing gritter tracking system, expiring in April 2023, with a new solution. The council has invited potential suppliers to participate by completing a questionnaire about their tracking solutions. The estimated value for the forthcoming contract is £200,000, with a contract period of 1080 days and the option for renewal for two further periods of 12 months each. This presents a business growth opportunity for firms providing telemetry, control equipment, and telematics services. The planned procurement process aims to engage with suppliers to align the council's requirements with market offerings, fostering competition and cost-effective solutions.
