Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Ltd procured comprehensive traffic management services for various sites in and around Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The requirement covers managing all aspects of traffic management, including support for road transport, road-related maintenance and associated equipment, transport equipment and vehicle parts, and relevant building installation work. The buyer is Via East Midlands Ltd, a regional authority organisation based in Bilsthorpe. The work is relevant to contractors able to provide integrated traffic management operations across multiple sites, supported by suitable vehicles, equipment, operational staff and resources. It concerns services rather than construction of a standalone asset, with delivery centred on Nottinghamshire and surrounding locations.

The procurement reached award and contract stage following an open procedure. The tender closed on 21 June 2024, with evaluation beginning that day, and the contracts were signed on 1 October 2024. The original tender estimated value was £8,000,000. The single lot was recorded as cancelled, but two active awards and active contracts were published against it. Traffic Safety and Management Ltd received one award; Traffic and Safety Management Limited and Traffic Safety and Management Limited received the other. One contract has no published value; the other is valued at £12,000,000. Its period is 1,440 days, with no renewal or options. Price was the published award criterion, 17 bids were received, and valid bids ranged from £4,000,000 to £8,000,000.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, multi-site demand for traffic management supporting Via East Midlands’ road transport activities. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to manage all traffic management services across Nottinghamshire and surrounding sites, rather than supplying a narrow, single-location service. Relevant capability includes deploying trained teams, maintaining suitable traffic management equipment and vehicles, supporting road works and transport operations, and coordinating delivery without disrupting existing services. The outcome also indicates that the buyer can appoint more than one supplier, so businesses with complementary capacity or a structured delivery partnership may be well placed. Suppliers should be able to compete primarily on price while demonstrating dependable resources, integration capability and experience delivering traffic management at scale.
