Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council procured traffic data analysis services, titled Signal Analytics, to monitor traffic flows at 30 junctions in East Sussex. These junctions have Traffic Light Priority for buses, funded through the Department for Transport’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. The analysis is intended to assess how the upgraded signals affect bus movements and general traffic flow. The requirement is focused on traffic monitoring and analytical insight around signal-controlled junctions, rather than construction or installation of traffic equipment. Work is for the council’s East Sussex transport network and supports evaluation of measures intended to improve bus journey performance while helping general traffic move more efficiently.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to INRIX UK Limited, with an active award and contract. The contract value is £83,000 including the published currency as GBP, and it was signed on 1 April 2026. The council used a limited procedure: a below-threshold direct award through a framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated rationale was that the project fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. The award criterion was price. One bid was recorded for the requirement. The single lot is marked cancelled, although the published award to INRIX UK Limited and the associated contract are active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from East Sussex County Council for specialist traffic analytics applied to bus-priority schemes and signal-controlled junctions. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine reliable traffic-flow monitoring with data analysis that can distinguish bus-priority effects from wider changes in general traffic performance. Relevant capability includes handling data from multiple junctions, interpreting transport network performance and producing evidence that a public authority can use to assess whether its investment is delivering better movement. Experience with bus service improvement programmes, traffic signals, transport modelling or local-authority reporting would strengthen credibility. The route used here also shows that suppliers with an established framework presence and the ability to deliver a focused, below-threshold analytical service may be well positioned for similar requirements from this buyer.
