Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured temporary traffic management services for highway maintenance activities across the borough of Cheshire West and Chester. The service enables safe delivery of highway verge cutting, hedge cutting and cleansing work on the council’s highway network. This is a public-sector traffic control services requirement, covering the provision and operation of temporary traffic management arrangements needed around maintenance activities. The council is based in Ellesmere Port and is the buyer for the service. The requirement is classed as a service rather than works or goods. It is relevant to traffic management contractors able to support planned highway maintenance operations across a local authority road network and coordinate safe working arrangements in the locations where those activities take place.

The procurement was completed through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 26 June 2026 and tenders were due by 3 July 2026 at 10:00. The single lot was evaluated on quality at 30% and price at 70%. The contract was awarded to QUANTUM TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT LIMITED on 14 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £109,815 excluding VAT, or £131,778 including VAT; the signed contract value is £109,815 excluding VAT, or £131,778 including VAT in the tender and lot estimates, with the contract recorded at £109,815 excluding VAT and £131,778 including VAT? The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027. The contract is active.

This opportunity demonstrates established council demand for temporary traffic management supporting routine highway verge, hedge cutting and cleansing programmes. A credible competitor would need operational capability in temporary traffic management and traffic control, with the resources to deploy safely across a borough-wide highway network and support multiple maintenance activities. The requirement favoured suppliers able to demonstrate service quality as well as competitive pricing, so evidence of reliable planning, site coordination, safe traffic arrangements and consistent delivery would strengthen a future response. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that participation was not limited to large national contractors. Firms with relevant local-authority highway maintenance experience and sufficient delivery capacity would be well placed.
