Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is procuring a web-based vehicle speed and routing data platform for highway operations and road safety decision-making. The service must enable public sector officers to interrogate connected vehicle data and understand vehicle speeds and routing at different geographical levels, from specific sections of road to whole settlements. Required speed measures include average speed, 85th-percentile speed, number of observations and standard deviation. The requirement covers data collection, collation and analysis services, including data analysis services (CPV 72316000). The buyer is Cambridgeshire County Council, based in Huntingdon, and the service will support its highway and road safety work across Cambridgeshire.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract, with electronic submissions allowed through ProContract. Questions could be submitted until 18 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 2 October 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 3 November 2026 to 2 November 2029. Its estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT, or £90,000 including VAT. Award will be based equally on quality and price, each weighted at 50%. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This requirement suits suppliers with an established web-based platform for connected vehicle data, capable of presenting reliable speed and routing insights to public sector users. Competitors should be able to collect, collate and analyse vehicle data, provide access across several geographic scales, and produce the specified statistical measures: average speed, 85th-percentile speed, observation counts and standard deviation. The service should support practical investigation of road conditions, traffic movement, highway operations and road safety questions rather than simply supplying raw data. Suppliers with experience delivering data platforms or analytical services for public authorities, highways, transport planning or road safety are likely to be well placed. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist providers can compete.
