UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited procured right-of-way condition surveys as a professional service. The work concerns assessing and reporting the condition of rights of way, with the published classification identifying geology services as the relevant technical area. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement was associated with Via East Midlands’ housing, environmental and planning solutions activity, specifically the lot covering those services. The selected supplier is Idox Software Ltd, a large UK-based software company. Businesses relevant to this requirement are therefore organisations able to provide structured condition surveying and associated technical assessment for rights-of-way assets, particularly where the work connects with housing, environmental or planning functions and requires delivery across a broad geographic area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Idox Software Ltd without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made on 1 May 2026 for £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The award period runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. A contract was signed on 11 May 2026, with the contract period running from 11 May 2026 to 30 April 2027, for the same value of £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The award covers the single published lot for housing, environmental and planning solutions. Evaluation was not competitive because the buyer used a direct award route, so no comparative tender assessment or award weighting is identified.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Via East Midlands’ demand for right-of-way condition survey services linked to housing, environmental and planning work. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in surveying the condition of rights of way, technical competence in the geology-related aspects of the service, and the capacity to organise delivery across the United Kingdom. Suppliers should also be able to produce reliable findings that support public-sector asset, planning and environmental decisions. The award to Idox Software Ltd shows that the buyer accepted a large established business for this requirement, making organisational capacity, dependable delivery and the ability to operate within a public-sector contracting environment commercially relevant.
