The procurement activity falls under the industry category of Information Systems and involves maintenance and repair services, software development, and consultancy services. The premarket engagement is currently in progress and an Industry Day will be hosted in Birmingham, with remote access via Teams, to provide further details. The key engagement milestone is set for 17 January 2025. The procurement process aims to develop a modernised capability for essential roadside technology tools. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in information systems, traffic-signal maintenance, IT equipment repair, and software supply services. Companies with expertise in these areas, especially SMEs, can benefit from participating in the premarket engagement and the potential competition. The project aims to enhance operational efficiency and safety by modernising tools critical for roadside maintenance and commissioning activities. Interested businesses need to respond to the engagement timetable and register for the Industry Day via email. ## Notice National Highways is considering holding a potential competition for the Roadside Diagnostic Device Toolkit and your company has been identified as a previously interested party. A Use Case document is being prepared as material for potential interested parties. National Highways has not yet determined a budget for delivery of these requirements. Considering all this information, please can you respond to the below Premarket Engagement timetable and indicate if you would / would not be able to participate in the event. Your responses to the below questions will solely be used for the purposes of Premarket engagement and will not be considered in any future procurement activity. Current Situation The RDDT toolkit comprises Wintester and Mote tools that supports key essential maintenance and commissioning services for all Signals, Signs and Midas roadside devices. We are intending to replace the existing toolkit with a modernised capability to be designed, developed and procured. Mote and Wintester are the only tools used for commissioning and maintenance work of Message Signs and Signals and Midas. Without these essential tools all new schemes including RIS works will be significantly delayed and maintenance works impacted. The Wintester and Mote tools reduce complex, specialist site works by simple site automated processes for testing of Roadside Technology. This process reduces staff demand, site travel, traffic management and, importantly time spent travelling and working on site. The current toolkit requires a refresh, with a modern, stable platform and easy to use intuitive applications with minimal need for training. The tests will be applicable for commissioning works and diagnostics relevant in determining specific faults within the devices. The aim is to reduce roadside attendance to a minimum to improve safety and wellbeing for our colleagues and customers. We will be holding an Industry Day to provide further details of the RDDT project and the opportunities available. The event will be held in Birmingham, further details will be provided nearer the time. Space will be limited to no more than one representatives per organisation due to the capacity of the venue we will be using. We will also provide access via Teams for people who may not be able to attend the event in person. To register for this event please send your expression of interest and contact details to email address : Oliver.Shiels@nationalhighways.co.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef3f9430-ea34-4b24-92c4-522d96f3f078 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 17 Jan 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL HIGHWAYS | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B1 1RN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Ladywood | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 48810000 - Information systems - 50230000 - Repair, maintenance and associated services related to roads and other equipment - 50232200 - Traffic-signal maintenance services - 50312600 - Maintenance and repair of information technology equipment - 72220000 - Systems and technical consultancy services - 72230000 - Custom software development services - 72268000 - Software supply services ## Release History - 20 Dec 2024 at 12:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef3f9430-ea34-4b24-92c4-522d96f3f078 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef3f9430-ea34-4b24-92c4-522d96f3f078 20th December 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://nationalhighways.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
