UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured a cloud-based, commercially available software solution and associated services to analyse Department for Transport GPS vehicle-speed data. It is intended to support decisions on road safety, congestion, sustainable transport planning and air quality. The system analyses historic vehicle speeds and journey times, identifies congestion pinch points and highlights locations with excessive speeding. The solution is required to be reliable and secure, with safeguards against data loss and cyber threats. Delivery is for Leicester, where the Council’s transport-planning work is focused.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to City Science Corporation Limited on 4 August 2026. The awarded value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with options to extend by up to a further three years, giving a possible total term of five years. The Council may also purchase additional administrative licences at £1,000 per user per year; the stated award value includes call-off options. This was a below-threshold open competition. Quality carried 70% of the evaluation weighting and price 30%. Seven bids were received, with three reaching the final stage; all three final-stage bidders were SMEs.

This award shows demand from Leicester City Council for specialist software that turns Department for Transport GPS speed data into practical transport insights. Suppliers will need a cloud-based, commercially available platform that can analyse historical speeds and journey times, pinpoint congestion and identify excessive speeding, supporting the Council’s road-safety, congestion, sustainable-transport and air-quality objectives. Reliability, security and protection against data loss and cyber threats are central requirements, alongside the ability to support additional user licences. The procurement was competed openly below the threshold, and SMEs were among the finalists, so a smaller supplier can be credible if it can demonstrate the required analytical capability, secure delivery and dependable service. The award’s mix of software and associated services indicates that both product capability and implementation or support provision are relevant.
