UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bury Council intends to procure parking and bus lane enforcement services, a statutory service supporting traffic management under the Traffic Management Act 2004. The work covers enforcement of parking restrictions and bus lanes in Bury, in the North West of England. The council describes this as a business-critical function regulated by the Secretary of State for Transport. The planned procurement is for a replacement service, rather than a new policy or infrastructure project.

This process is at planning: Bury Council has announced its intention to run a competitive open procedure, but has not invited tenders. The council expects to conduct the procurement during 2027 and aims to award and mobilise a replacement contract within 12 months. Its indicative timetable gives 31 March 2027 for a further notice, 1 May 2027 as the tender-period end date and 1 July 2027 as the award-period end date. The planned single-lot contract is valued at £5 million including VAT, with a stated term from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2032. The council reserves options relating to evolving technology during the contract. Further details and timescales are expected later.

This planned requirement is relevant to providers able to deliver parking and bus lane enforcement as a regulated, business-critical public service. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate they can operate a replacement service for Bury Council and respond to technological requirements that may evolve over the contract term. The council's stated aim to award and mobilise within 12 months points to a need for effective mobilisation capability as well as ongoing service delivery. The work may suit established enforcement operators with the resources to support a borough-wide service and manage the operational demands of statutory traffic enforcement. No specific accreditations, staffing qualifications or selection requirements have been set out at this planning stage.
