This framework targets traffic management within diverse public-sector settings across the UK and falls under the services category. Utilizing an open procurement method, the process invites multiple suppliers and lots, reflecting a significant estimated gross value of £25,000,000, increased from £18,000,000. The planned contract period runs from 17th July 2027 to 16th July 2031.
