Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured a single-provider framework for traffic surveys carried out as required at various locations across East and South Ayrshire. The services cover traffic data collection and related survey work, including traffic monitoring, transport data and associated road equipment or signing activities (CPV 63712710). The framework is intended to support the Council’s requirements at multiple locations rather than one fixed site, with the option to request additional survey types during the framework term. The buying organisation is East Ayrshire Council, based in Kilmarnock. The successful provider is a specialist traffic survey business serving council requirements across the East and South Ayrshire area.

This procurement has been awarded following an open procedure for one framework place. Nationwide Data Collection Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. The contract value is £800,000. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The framework term is 1,440 days, described as two years with two separate one-year extension options at the Council’s discretion. Responses were due by 12 noon on 31 March 2026, following an amended deadline, and seven electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation included price, weighted at 70, and methodology, weighted at 14. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days. Electronic payment and ordering apply, and variants were not allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from East Ayrshire Council for responsive traffic survey services across East and South Ayrshire, delivered by a single specialist provider under a call-off framework. A credible future competitor would need practical capacity to mobilise survey teams to multiple locations and provide accurate, repeatable traffic data across varied survey requirements. Relevant recent experience is important: the procurement required two comparable traffic survey examples, with referees able to confirm performance. Delivery teams need New Roads and Street Works Act qualifications for supervisors and operatives covering signing, lighting and guarding. Businesses should also be able to evidence proportionate quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements, through recognised certification or documented policies. The requirement suits established SMEs with dependable field resources and robust operational controls.
