Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Hertfordshire County Council & TPPL Vehicle Purchase Framework CALL OFF - Lot 7 Telematics" has been completed with award issued on 12th November 2025. Blackpool Council acted as the buying organisation for this service-based procurement dealing with telematics under the CPV classification of telematics services. The process focused on supplying, installing, and subscribing telematics for approximately 150 vehicles, operating within and outside the Borough, marked under the tender status as complete. The procurement method followed was limited, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, catering to the industry within region UKD42.

This tender offers business growth opportunities by providing a platform for telematics suppliers, especially those capable of handling large-scale installations and servicing for automotive requirements. As the award prioritised cost (70%) alongside quality (30%), competitive pricing could be a crucial factor for future tenders in similar frameworks. Quartix Limited, an SME located in Powys, was the successful supplier, demonstrating how smaller enterprises can effectively compete and win alongside larger entities by delivering specialised telematics services. Regional local authorities or businesses already familiar with government contract requirements would be well-suited to participate in equivalent procurement bids.
