UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Control and Management of Traffic and Related Services," initiated by Cardiff Council, involves substantial activities in traffic equipment and services within the United Kingdom, specifically in Wales. Although initially active, the process faced cancellation as announced on 20th April 2026 due to material inaccuracies and is slated for re-tendering in the near future. Previously, the tender was set to progress through an open procedure with submissions and inquiries closing on 17th February 2026 and 9th February 2026 respectively, while awards were anticipated to conclude by 14th March 2026. The procurement spanned various industry categories, including road traffic-control equipment and traffic control services.

This tender represents considerable opportunities for businesses involved in engineering design for traffic installations, traffic monitoring, and maintenance services for public lighting and traffic lights. With suitability criteria favouring SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSE), the tender can provide growth potential for businesses capable of delivering community well-being benefits along with competitive pricing totaling approximately £4,999,999. Given Cardiff Council’s commitment to using an open procurement method, businesses with experience in traffic control services and telematics systems are well-positioned to compete effectively once the process is re-tendered, especially if they can encompass aspects like quality and cost amongst their offerings.
