## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority has completed a procurement process titled "Playbook 1.5B", which focuses on services in the data sector. This initiative is aimed at extending the existing CAV Testbed Route into the inter-urban and rural areas of the West Midlands. The procurement method was a selective approach involving a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract, valued at £365,467, has a term running from 1 March 2020 to 28 February 2022. Key parties include the West Midlands Combined Authority as the buyer, with delivery set for locations in Warwickshire.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in data services, particularly those specialising in traffic management and data analytics. Companies capable of providing real-time data feeds and integrating with existing platforms, such as the oneTRANSPORT data system, will be well-suited to compete in this process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may have innovative solutions that align with the needs specified in the tender.

## Notice

The M3 project is designed to extend our existing CAV Testbed Route to inter-urban and rural areas of the wider West Midlands, more specifically Highways England roads and Warwickshire roads respectively. To enable us to do this we need to obtain data from Warwickshire County Council relating to the following areas: * Traffic Flow UTC/UTMC * Traffic Road Congestion UTC/UTMC * Journey Times UTC/UTMC * Signal Timings UTC/UTMC * Vehicle Classifications UTC/UTMC * VMS (Variable Messaging Signs) * Car Parking * Cycle Counts * Air Quality * Signal Faults These data-feeds should be available in real time and it must be possible for them to be added to our existing Playbook 1 system, an open data platform supporting the oneM2M standard. The Playbook 1 system is built upon the oneTRANSPORT data platform and the incoming datasets must be able to interface with this platform.
