Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council procured annual traffic survey data and related data collection and collation services for around 120 urban and rural locations across Cambridgeshire. The surveys are intended to provide traffic information for the council’s requirements over a three-year programme, with surveys carried out each spring and autumn. The work is classified as services and covers locations across Cambridgeshire, including both urban and rural settings. The council is a sub-central public authority and the buyer for this requirement. The procurement was structured as one lot and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It required a supplier able to organise recurring traffic surveys across a large geographic area and provide usable survey data to the council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Eight bids were received, all eight reached the final stage and all final-stage bidders were SMEs. PRICEBUY LIMITED was awarded the single lot on 5 August 2026 for £37,215 excluding VAT, or £44,658 including VAT. The contract period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with signature scheduled by 21 August 2026. The estimated tender value was £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Evaluation was split equally between price and quality, with each weighted at 50%. Enquiries closed on 10 July 2026 and bids were due by 17 July 2026.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for traffic survey services covering a substantial mix of urban and rural sites. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would have proven experience planning and delivering traffic surveys, coordinating fieldwork across around 120 locations, and repeating data collection in both spring and autumn. They would also need to collate and present reliable traffic data for public-sector use, while managing a programme that spans multiple survey periods and locations. The competition attracted eight final-stage SME bids, showing that the requirement can be contested by smaller specialist firms. Credibility would come from relevant traffic-data delivery experience, dependable operational capacity, quality assurance and the ability to manage geographically dispersed survey work.
