UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Waltham Forest procured a highways condition survey service to capture highway condition data using the Department for Transport-approved PAS 2161 methodology. The requirement is a specialist surveying and survey-analysis service for the council’s highway network, rather than construction or routine road maintenance. The procurement was for services, with survey analysis classified under CPV 79311300. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom and the buying organisation is the London Borough of Waltham Forest, based at Waltham Forest Town Hall in Walthamstow. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. It was awarded to Gaist Solutions Limited, an SME based in Skipton, demonstrating demand for specialist highway-condition data services from a local authority buyer.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Gaist Solutions Limited. The award date was 28 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition, using a limited procurement method, with one completed lot. The contract is active and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £35,000 excluding VAT, or £42,000 including VAT. The published outcome identifies Gaist Solutions Limited as the supplier for the highways condition survey requirement. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This award is evidence that London Borough of Waltham Forest buys structured highway-condition data and analysis to the PAS 2161 methodology. A credible future competitor would need specialist capability to survey roads, capture reliable condition data and turn the results into usable survey analysis for a local authority. Familiarity with the Department for Transport-approved PAS 2161 approach would be central, as would the operational capacity to cover the required highway network and provide consistent outputs during a defined delivery period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large multidisciplinary contractor. Businesses with relevant highways surveying, asset-management data, analytical and reporting experience should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
