Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council established an open framework for traffic survey services. The work will monitor changes across the transport network and evaluate the effects of transport interventions, using traffic-monitoring and traffic-control services and associated equipment. Delivery covers Norfolk, including the council’s service areas across the county. This is a public-sector transport research and data-collection requirement rather than a construction or general consultancy contract. The framework is intended to support recurring requirements for surveys and evidence gathering, with multiple suppliers able to provide services for individual requirements. It is relevant to organisations providing traffic counts, transport data collection, traffic monitoring, survey management, analysis and evaluation of changes to roads or transport networks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 July 2026 following an open procedure. Eleven suppliers were selected for the framework: Advanced Transport Research, Citisense, CTS Traffic & Transportation, IDASO UK, Intelligent Data Collection, Kestrel Surveys, Nationwide Data Collection (Midlands), Pricebuy, Streetwise Services, Tracsis Traffic Data and Traffic Survey Partners (TSP) UK. The estimated framework value is £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT). The awarded framework period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a possible extension to 31 August 2029. The tender deadline was 17 November 2025 and the award decision was due by 10 December 2025. Quality carried 100% of the evaluation weighting, with economic and technical selection requirements set out in the tender documents. Further requirements may be let by direct award or competition among capable framework suppliers.

This procurement shows established demand from Norfolk County Council for specialist traffic-survey and transport-data services delivered through a multi-supplier open framework. The selected supplier profile is strongly SME-based: all 11 final-stage bidders were SMEs, and the framework was identified as suitable for SMEs. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable field data collection, traffic-counting or monitoring capability, suitable survey equipment, robust data handling and the ability to analyse results for transport-network monitoring and intervention evaluation. Technical and economic capacity are part of supplier selection, while quality is the sole award consideration. Organisations that can scale survey teams across Norfolk, manage varied assignments and produce dependable evidence for transport decisions would be well placed when this requirement is considered again.
