Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council bought a vehicle speed and routing data service to support decisions on highway operations and road safety. The requirement is for an established web-based platform through which public-sector officers can explore connected-vehicle data and understand both vehicle speeds and routes. Analysis needs to work at different geographic scales, from an individual road section to a whole settlement, so that officers can investigate varied local issues. Required speed measures include average speed, 85th-percentile speed, observation counts and standard deviation. The service combines the provision of vehicle data with analysis and collation of that information. The buyer is Cambridgeshire County Council, and the award records delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Compass IoT Limited. It used an open competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The award date was 16 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 3 November 2026 to 2 November 2029. The awarded value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The tender deadline was 2 October 2026 at 5pm; the deadline for enquiries was 18 September 2026 at noon. Quality and price each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting. Four bids reached the final stage, including three from small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was recorded as active, with a future signature milestone scheduled for 30 October 2026.

This award shows demand from Cambridgeshire County Council for connected-vehicle data that can inform highway operations and road-safety decisions. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need an established web platform that public-sector officers can use to interrogate vehicle speeds and routing, with geographic analysis ranging from road sections to settlements. The platform needs to provide average and 85th-percentile speeds, observation counts and standard deviation. Suppliers should be able to deliver both the data and the analytical functionality rather than a generic traffic service. The evaluation placed equal weight on quality and price, and the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; the competition attracted several SME bids.
