Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured a highways temporary traffic management framework for services supporting highways works within the council’s boundaries in Nottingham. The requirement is for traffic control and temporary traffic management services, including arrangements needed around highway activities. The council intended to appoint up to three contractors to the framework, allowing it to use appointed providers for relevant requirements. The buying organisation is Nottingham City Council, a sub-central public authority. The framework is classified as a services procurement and the delivery area is Nottingham. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses that provide temporary traffic management and traffic control services for public-sector highways works, either as established national operators or capable smaller specialist suppliers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Nottingham City Council appointed VOCON LIMITED, CHEVRON TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT LIMITED and SUNBELT RENTALS LIMITED to the framework. The award date is 11 August 2026, with an awarded value of £2.5 million excluding VAT, or £3 million including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The framework tender period ended on 4 June 2026, the enquiry period ended on 28 May 2026 and the award period ended on 30 June 2026. There was one lot, with an estimated value of £2.5 million excluding VAT. Evaluation weighted price at 70%, quality at 15% and social value at 15%. Fifteen bids were received, including 11 from SMEs.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for temporary traffic management supporting Nottingham City Council’s highways programme, delivered through a multi-supplier framework rather than a single-provider arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven experience in temporary traffic management and traffic control for highways works, together with the qualified personnel, operational systems and capacity to deliver safely across Nottingham. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is the main driver, but quality and social value together account for 30% of the assessment, so a strong offer would need more than low rates. The framework was suitable for SMEs and attracted 11 SME bids, indicating that smaller specialist providers can compete when they can demonstrate relevant capability, reliable delivery and meaningful social-value outcomes.
