Summary of the contracting process

Via East Midlands Limited, working with Nottinghamshire County Council, procured a Home Office type-approved digital average speed enforcement system for the A617 Kelham to Staythorpe scheme in Nottinghamshire. The requirement covers the supply and installation of speed-camera and traffic-monitoring equipment, with the scheme extent subject to detailed investigation and design. The procurement is primarily for works, although it includes the associated equipment. The named buyer is Via East Midlands Limited, a public undertaking responsible for managing the requirement. The work is associated with Nottinghamshire and the A617 corridor between Kelham and Staythorpe. Businesses operating in average-speed enforcement, traffic monitoring, roadside technology, highway systems integration or specialist installation would find the subject matter relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One lot was awarded to Jenoptik UK Limited on 2 September 2026. The award value is £180,000 excluding VAT and £216,000 including VAT. The award contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The earlier lot information gives a five-year contract period from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2031, with an estimated value of £146,000 excluding VAT and £175,200 including VAT. Participation was restricted to three potential suppliers after the conditions of participation were completed, and one bid was received. Evaluation required pass/fail compliance with the PSQ and technical requirements, followed by price weighted at 60% and quality at 40%.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for average-speed enforcement on a strategic road in Nottinghamshire, combining approved roadside technology with installation and traffic-monitoring capability. A credible future competitor would need to supply or integrate Home Office type-approved digital equipment, design a compliant system for the identified route, and undertake specialist installation and commissioning. It would also need to pass the buyer’s participation and technical compliance checks before its commercial and quality submissions were assessed. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a focused specialist rather than only a large infrastructure contractor. Relevant businesses include enforcement-camera manufacturers, highway technology integrators, civil or electrical installation contractors with suitable traffic-systems experience, and firms able to evidence robust technical delivery and quality assurance.
