UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the award stage for the contract titled "HCC 08/25 THE PROVISION OF SCANNER CONDITION ASSESSMENTS 2025." The project focuses on highways consultancy services with a particular emphasis on SCANNER surveys for the county's A, B, and C roads to gather data on road conditions and suggest maintenance programmes. The procurement process began with a tender and was performed using a limited competition method tailored for below-threshold contracts. The contract, valued at £40,956, was signed on 3rd October 2025. It began on 6th October 2025 and is set to conclude on 28th November 2025, with an option for an additional eight-week extension.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for SMEs operating in the technical testing and engineering consultancy sectors. Businesses specialising in highway infrastructure, technical analysis, or engineering services are particularly well-equipped to deliver the required outputs, as seen by the awarding of the contract to XAIS-PTS Limited, an SME based in Preston. The limited competition nature of the procurement method suggests that smaller enterprises had a viable chance to secure the contract despite the overarching deliverables typically associated with larger-scale projects.
