Notice Title

Traffic Management Displays providing road works information

Notice Description

Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 - Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a Contract Notice - has been utilised and awarded a contract directly to Causeway Technologies Ltd for the annual subscription of the one.network portal and Traffic Management module

Procurement Information

Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 - Negotiated Procedure without prior publication of a Contract Notice - has been utilised and awarded a contract directly to Causeway Technologies Ltd for the annual subscription of the one.network portal and Traffic Management module. This is to continue with the same arrangement with the current consortium for the access to one.network and for the continuation of our individual contract for the Traffic Management module for the next year by entering a contract with Causeway Technologies Ltd. one.network is the web-based portal used by a large majority of local authorities in England and Wales for providing up to date road works, road closure, diversion, and events information direct from the Street Works Register, displayed geographically. This can be verified by a search on Contracts Finder. The Traffic Management module enables information about road closures and diversion routes to be displayed on mapping and publicised instantly, with particular benefit in emergency situations and for high profile public events. A consortium of Yorkshire Highway Authorities purchase one.network together, which reduces the Council's annual subscription rate. The Council is the lead authority in the consortium and pays the full subscription costs for all members and is then reimbursed. The Council has established multi-departmental processes, and significant impacts would result if this arrangement was not continued, including retraining of staff across highways and legal service. There is also potential for disruption to the service, leading to missed legal orders, damage to reputation and lack of transparency with the public. Due to the above reasons, it is on that basis which, for technical reasons, necessitate a direct provision for this service to be maintained by the existing provider. A compliant procurement process will take place prior to the end of the proposed contract end date.
