UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited is procuring traffic speed condition survey services for the 2027–2032 Traffic Speed Condition Survey (TRACS6) programme. The successful supplier will produce high-quality, objective pavement and traffic condition data assessed and accredited against the detailed TRACS specification. National Highways will use the data for operational asset management, compliance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, network valuation, and the calculation of performance and network indicators, including KPI3 and PI5.2. The work is delivered across the United Kingdom and falls within surveying services. It is intended to provide continuity when the current TRACS contract ends, through the appointment of a new supplier and award of a replacement contract.

The process has reached tender: National Highways Limited invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically through the National Highways Jaggaer portal by 25 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is planned to run from 30 November 2026 to 29 November 2032. The estimated value is £4,940,000 excluding VAT, or £5,928,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is above the applicable threshold. Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality, including social value, and 20% to cost. The planned award decision date was 23 November 2026 at 23:59. Bids may be submitted in English, and electronic submission was permitted.

This opportunity suits specialist surveying and road-condition data providers, including small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers need the capability to undertake traffic speed condition surveys across the United Kingdom and to produce consistent, high-quality, objective data for a major strategic road asset. The requirement is particularly relevant to businesses experienced in pavement or highway condition surveying, traffic-speed data collection, data assessment and reporting against detailed technical specifications. Providers must be able to have their data assessed and accredited against the TRACS specification and support its use in operational asset management, regulatory compliance, performance measurement and network valuation. The long-term requirement favours suppliers with the capacity to sustain nationwide service delivery and reliable data outputs.
