UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of an Automatic Traffic Counter (ATC) Data Collection & Maintenance Contract, valued at approximately £50,000. The procurement falls under the service category of data-processing and is situated within the UKJ14 region, Oxford, United Kingdom. The contract is particularly timely as the current ATC contract is approaching expiration, leading the Council to initiate market engagement to ensure optimal planning. A key milestone involves the completion of a Market Research questionnaire by potential suppliers, with a submission deadline of 6th August 2026, via the designated Portal.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs), adept in data-processing services. The contract, set to commence on 1st December 2026, and potentially extendable until 2030, offers a substantial duration for business stability and growth. Companies specialising in traffic data collection, analysis, and maintenance are well-suited to compete, providing a chance to expand their existing service capabilities, secure new business partnerships, and establish a foothold within public sector procurement. This engagement underscores Oxfordshire County Council's proactive approach to market engagement and supplier collaboration.
