Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Somerset Council, focused on the acquisition of vehicle telematics services, a project classified under fleet management, repair, and maintenance services. This tendering process aimed to enhance driver safety and vehicle performance through innovative technologies recording and transmitting vehicle data. Taking place in the UK, the contract was awarded to QUARTIX, a large-scale supplier based in Powys, United Kingdom. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract signed on 19th June 2025. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, allowing for a direct award to the top-ranked supplier on the framework, in this case through the TPPL Fleet Ancillary Products framework, with a total contract value amounting to GBP 259,200.

This vehicle telematics procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in fleet management and telematics technology. It is especially suitable for large businesses that can meet the specifications and supply requirements as demonstrated by QUARTIX. Companies offering innovative technologies in vehicle diagnostics, data transmission, and real-time analysis would find opportunities in similar tenders. This procurement process underscores the demand for service providers capable of delivering comprehensive fleet performance solutions that improve operational efficiency and safety in commercial vehicle operations.
