Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a closed framework for temporary traffic management services supporting highways works within Nottingham City Council’s boundaries. The requirement covers traffic control services for the Council’s highways programme, including responding to project briefs and orders issued under the framework. The buying organisation is Nottingham City Council. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works, although delivery supports highways activity. The framework was structured as a single requirement and appointed three contractors to provide the service. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses of different sizes and organisational types may be relevant where they can provide temporary traffic management for public highways work in Nottingham.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Nottingham City Council used an above-threshold open procedure. VOCON LIMITED, CHEVRON TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT LIMITED and SUNBELT RENTALS LIMITED were appointed. The award date was 11 August 2026; the contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2030. The awarded framework value is £2.5 million excluding VAT (£3 million including VAT). Call-offs up to £60,000 are made by direct award in ranked order, while call-offs above £60,000 use further competition. Evaluation was based on price at 70%, quality at 15% and social value at 15%. The process received 15 final-stage bids, including 11 from SMEs.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for temporary traffic management supporting a local authority’s highways works, with a multi-year framework and repeated project orders. A credible future competitor would need practical experience delivering traffic control services for highways activity, the operational capacity to accept and respond to the Council’s project briefs, and the resources to perform safely across multiple assignments. Strong quality systems would matter alongside competitive pricing, because quality formed part of the evaluation and the framework measures acceptance of orders, health and safety, and environmental incidents. Suppliers should also be able to evidence meaningful social value commitments. The appointed providers include an SME and larger businesses, indicating that both focused specialist firms and suppliers with broader operational capacity can compete for this type of requirement.
