UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council procured a one-off PHP security update for its TRADS traffic analysis database. The work was a software and information-systems upgrade, intended to address security in the database. Delivery was for Gateshead, in the North East of England. The requirement was focused on updating an existing traffic analysis system rather than supplying a broader traffic-management service or a new database. The council was the buyer, and WSP UK Limited was selected to carry out the work. This procurement therefore concerns suppliers with expertise in PHP application security and the ability to update and secure an established traffic analysis database.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Gateshead Borough Council used a direct award below the public procurement threshold, without competition. WSP UK Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 3 July 2026 and runs from 3 July to 19 August 2026. Its value is £44,073.60 including VAT. The requirement was handled as a single lot, covering the one-off PHP security update to the TRADS traffic analysis database. The published procurement data does not state award criteria or an evaluation basis beyond the direct-award route.

This award shows demand from Gateshead Borough Council for targeted security work on its TRADS traffic analysis database. Suppliers seeking to compete if this specific requirement returns to market would need credible PHP security capability and experience assessing and updating an existing database application without disrupting its operational purpose. Familiarity with traffic analysis systems would help a supplier understand the context of the software and the need to preserve its function while strengthening security. The selected supplier was a large UK company, indicating that the work was delivered by a supplier with the capacity to undertake a defined software-security assignment. This was a one-off, focused upgrade rather than a broad systems replacement, so a strong fit would be demonstrated through relevant application-security expertise and the ability to deliver a contained technical change.
