Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is seeking to establish a Traffic Survey Framework, with the invitation to tender commencing on 5th February 2026. The procurement is conducted under an open procedure, and it specifically targets the provision of traffic monitoring services within the Sheffield area (region UKE32). This Framework Agreement, with an estimated value of £1,500,000, is slated to run for a four-year duration starting from 1st August 2026, providing opportunities for up to four framework providers. The tender process is currently active, with the submission deadline set for 10th March 2026 and the enquiry period concluding on 2nd March 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), due to the suitability criteria specified. The framework will encompass mini competitions for call-offs, ensuring ongoing opportunities for successful bidders. Businesses specialising in traffic monitoring services and those experienced in working within public frameworks are ideally positioned to benefit from this procurement opportunity. The assessment criteria focus heavily on quality and social value, with a respective weightage of 85% and 15%, offering firms a chance to compete on more than just price.
