Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council, as a sub-central government public authority, has completed the award stage of the procurement process for the "WCC Road Condition Machine Surveys." This procurement, classified under the road-inspection services industry, operates within the UK region, specifically focusing on maintaining the carriageway network to satisfy Department for Transport (DfT) requirements. The officially awarded contract, valued at £851,614.65 gross, with a net value of £709,678.88, was signed on 11th February 2026 and will span five years with potential extensions. The procurement method involved a direct award leveraging a restricted tender from an approved list of suppliers with technologically compliant systems as determined by the Department for Transport.

This procurement can be a significant business growth opportunity for firms specialising in surface surveying technologies compliant with PAS2161 standards. The initiative is ideal for SMEs with the technological capacity to provide comprehensive road-condition surveys and timely data submissions across Warwickshire's road networks. Businesses capable of delivering innovative road condition technologies and those who can offer additional highway condition survey services during the contract could find advantageous prospects through additional purchases reserved by the Council. VAISALA LIMITED, an SME, was selected as the supplier, highlighting the potential for similar scale enterprises to secure such contracts in future opportunities.
