Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council is seeking a supplier for cameras and associated equipment and services used to monitor traffic in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers existing cameras and additional cameras installed during the contract. Services include managed camera hosting, real-time image services, traffic data collection and analytics, a dashboard and reporting platform, cyber security and protection, equipment supply, monitoring, and responsibility for faults. This is a traffic monitoring and road transport support service, with closed-circuit television expertise also relevant. The appointed provider will support the Council’s camera estate and the operation of associated data, reporting and security systems. Businesses able to combine camera technology, hosted services, traffic analytics, equipment supply and operational support should consider the requirement.

The process has reached tender: Durham County Council invited offers through an open procedure for one lot. The enquiry deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00 and the tender submission deadline is 19 October 2026 at 12:00. The Council expected to complete evaluation and award by 29 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, taking the maximum end date to 31 October 2030. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT and £240,000 including VAT. The framework uses a single appointed supplier for every call-off, without reopening competition. Evaluation is 60% price, 30% technical quality and 10% social value. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and suppliers with an integrated traffic monitoring offer rather than a single-product camera business. Relevant capability includes supplying and supporting traffic cameras, hosting and managing live image services, collecting and analysing traffic data, and providing reliable dashboards and reporting. Suppliers should also be able to manage cyber security and protection, monitor camera and service performance, provide additional equipment when required, and take responsibility for diagnosing and resolving faults. Experience of operating services across existing and newly installed camera assets would be useful, as would the capacity to provide continuing support throughout the initial contract and potential extensions. The framework structure offers the appointed provider responsibility for all subsequent call-offs, with prices fixed for the first two years.
