Summary of the contracting process

The National Highways has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of Tester Mote and NECT licences necessary for the maintenance, commissioning, and testing of Signals, Message Signs, and Midas Outstations. The procurement, titled "WIN MOTE TESTER LICENSES 24-26," falls under the Data-processing services category (CPV code 72310000) and is set to support operations nationwide across the UK. This procurement stage concluded with a contract award dated 20th September 2024 to COSTAIN INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The procurement method was limited, executed without prior publication of a call for competition due to the critical nature and lack of alternatives for the required services, ensuring compliance with the National Highways' operational needs.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in diagnostics software services, especially those specialising in transportation and infrastructure maintenance. Companies with expertise in providing, maintaining, and operating diagnostic software tools for large-scale operations stand to benefit significantly. The contract, valued at £130,000, underscores the importance of reliable and efficient service delivery to over 200 users, including maintenance and repair suppliers. Firms with established proficiency in data-processing services and a track record of working with government agencies would be well-suited to compete in similar opportunities.

Procurement Information

National Highways require the services to operation diagnostic software packages known as MOTE and Tester. These are essential for the maintenance, commissioning and testing of Signals, Message Signs and Midas Outstations. The distribution access to these licences is to more than 200 + users, which include Maintain & Repair suppliers which require use of these tools daily for maintenance works. There is no alternative to this process in the short term. Without these services the Roadside Technology Availability KPI is at risk and with additional costs incurred due to increase of time and materials. Historically, there have been two failed procurements to develop new software on up-to-date tools; this is due to the cost being too high when the tenders were returned.
