Summary of the contracting process

The Derry City and Strabane District Council initiated a procurement process for the supply of traffic management services to support a series of public events scheduled from 2023 to 2026. This open procurement process, under legal basis CELEX 32014L0024, focuses on traffic control services, classified under CPV code 63712700. The procurement involves two lots: Festival Events and Sporting Events, located in the UKN0A region. The tender process started with bidding opportunities detailed in an active tender document with a submission deadline on February 10, 2023, and awards were announced, with Premier Traffic Systems Limited and Graham Asset Management Ltd being awarded contracts for Festival and Sporting Events, respectively. The contracts will run for three years, with an active status as of April 1, 2023.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in event-oriented traffic management. Companies offering expertise in logistical coordination for large-scale public events, such as marathons and festivals, are particularly well-suited to participate. The nature of the events requires suppliers capable of managing traffic flow efficiently while ensuring safety and minimal disruption, making it ideal for organisations experienced in dynamic and high-profile event settings. Additionally, the division into two lots allows businesses to bid based on their specialisation in either festival or sporting event traffic management, thus broadening the potential for growth and partnership with a regional authority like Derry City and Strabane District Council.
