Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council procured a digital Traffic Regulation Order (D-TRO) system to manage, process and publish orders in line with relevant legislation. The requirement also covers surveying and reviewing existing Traffic Regulation Orders across the North Yorkshire road network, updating the system with current information from the surveys, and creating consolidated orders. The anticipated survey coverage is up to 5,000 kilometres. This is a public-sector digital and information-services requirement combined with traffic-control and surveying services. Delivery is for the council’s network in North Yorkshire, with the contracting authority based at County Hall in Northallerton. The requirement includes system capability, data collection, digitisation, order management and publication rather than a standalone software licence.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Yellow Line Parking Ltd t/a AppyWay was awarded the single lot on 12 May 2026, and the contract was signed on 25 June 2026. The awarded value is £1,044,975 excluding VAT (£1,253,970 including VAT); the signed contract value is £1,050,000 excluding VAT (£1,260,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 August 2031. Additional licences may be purchased during the contract. Evaluation was weighted 60% quality and 40% cost, with economic and technical selection requirements. Four bids were received and three reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. The contract is above threshold.

This award demonstrates demand for an integrated D-TRO platform supported by substantial surveying, data review and digitisation capability. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work for North Yorkshire Council would need to show that they can provide legislation-compliant management, processing and publication of digital traffic orders, alongside reliable field surveying across a large road network. Credible providers would combine software delivery with geospatial or transport data expertise, accurate conversion of existing orders, data validation and the production of consolidated orders. The evaluation outcome indicates that quality was more important than cost, so evidence of dependable system performance, data accuracy, implementation approach and service capability would be important. SME participation was demonstrated, making this relevant to specialist technology, surveying and traffic-management firms, either independently or in partnership.
