UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council is seeking traffic data collection services across County Durham. The work involves carrying out surveys with varying requirements depending on their nature and purpose, supporting the Council’s traffic monitoring needs. The procurement is for services, classified as traffic monitoring services (CPV 63712710). Delivery is across County Durham. Suppliers should assess whether they can undertake a range of traffic surveys throughout the county and adapt their approach to differing survey purposes and requirements.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 21 October 2026 at 16:00, and tenders were due by 30 October 2026 at 10:00. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT (£240,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with provision for two 12-month renewals, subject to performance and a review of requirements, potentially extending the term to 30 November 2030. The single lot is assessed on price, weighted at 55%, and methodology, weighted at 45%. The award decision was due by 6 November 2026 at 23:59.

This requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is best suited to traffic survey and monitoring providers able to collect data throughout County Durham and deliver surveys tailored to differing purposes and specifications. A strong bid will need a clear, credible methodology: the Council gives methodology substantial weight alongside price, so suppliers should explain how they will plan and carry out varied survey work consistently across the county. Providers with the operational capacity to handle a county-wide service and the flexibility to respond to changing survey requirements are likely to be well placed. The opportunity also allows for extensions subject to performance and review, making delivery quality and the ability to sustain the service important considerations.
