## Summary

The Manchester City Council has recently awarded a contract for the provision of Highway treatment and asset surveys, titled "Q20547 - Digital Inspection Surveys," to Gaist Solutions Ltd. The contract, valued at £47,000 GBP, falls under the main procurement category of services. The procurement method used was a direct award, with the tender period ending on 30th May 2023. The contract period is set to start on 1st June 2023 and end on 12th February 2025.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses, specifically those in the engineering services sector, as it involves digital inspection surveys related to maintaining highway networks. Companies offering engineering services, such as engineering design services, miscellaneous engineering services, integrated engineering services, or engineering-related scientific and technical services, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The nature of the award being a direct one indicates a tailored selection process by the Manchester City Council, potentially favouring SMEs and VCSEs.

## Notice

This contract is for the provision of Highway treatment and asset surveys and associated technology, drawn down from an existing framework agreement arranged by Blackpool Council in compliance with OJEU regulations (ref. 2021/S 000-011783). The Council already draws down on both elements of this framework for our condition surveys and analysis contract with the only provider, Gaist. This separate contract is for provision of additional annual digital inspection surveys and data analysis to help with our statutory duty to maintain our highway network.
