Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council issued a public procurement process for the Provision of a Road Asset Management System (RAMS) under an open procedure. This initiative falls under the engineering services category and involves a versatile web-based data management system intended to manage asset information, particularly concerning highways. Located in Blackpool, UK, with the main office at Bickerstaffe House, the council requires a system to visualise asset condition, location, and history. The procurement stage has reached completion, with Gaist Limited securing the contract on 19th May 2025. The contract's active period commenced on 1st June 2025 and is set to run until 31st May 2029, with a total value of £12,000,000.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data management systems and engineering services, specifically those adept at crafting interactive and comprehensive asset management solutions using the Software as a Service (SaaS) principle. The involvement of multiple buyers, including Blackpool Council, Transport for Greater Manchester, and Transport for London, suggests potential for future collaborations and extended services across various UK regions. SMEs that can effectively combine data collection with deterioration and lifecycle modelling will find this an excellent opportunity to expand their market presence and demonstrate their capabilities in large-scale engineering service projects.
