Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured Street Manager, a digital roadworks management system and related highway operation service. The system supports the council and other organisations to plan, approve, coordinate and monitor roadworks; apply for permits; schedule work; track progress; carry out inspections; and share real-time information about activity on the road network. Its purpose is to reduce disruption, improve traffic flow, and help ensure that roadworks are carried out safely and lawfully through a shared view of current works. The buying organisation is Leeds City Council, based in Leeds, and the service concerns roadworks and highway operations for the council’s area. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification describing highway operation services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Kainos without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Kainos was selected as the supplier on 31 March 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £17,625 excluding VAT and £21,150 including VAT. The award covers one completed lot for the Street Manager service. The contract is active. The procurement used a direct award route rather than an open or competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a council purchase from a named supplier rather than a comparison of competing bids. The service falls within highway operation services.

This procurement shows Leeds City Council’s demand for a specialist digital service that brings roadworks planning, permit applications, scheduling, monitoring, inspections and live information sharing into one system. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with this buyer would need credible capability in roadworks or highway operations, alongside software that can support multiple organisations and provide a reliable shared operational view. Relevant strengths would include workflow management for approvals and permits, progress tracking, inspection support, real-time data exchange and tools that help reduce disruption and improve traffic flow. Experience delivering dependable public-sector or transport-related digital systems would help demonstrate suitability. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was met by a provider able to support an operational council service at organisational scale.
