## Summary

Highways England has completed a procurement process for a project titled "1-1027 MCH1529 Technology Review and Assurance," aimed at enhancing the performance assessment of detector technology and systems within their operations. The project falls under the category of research and development services, with a contract value of approximately £199,795, and is based in London, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract duration starting on 13th February 2020 and ending on 30th April 2021. The tender period concluded on 31st January 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology development, consultancy services, and engineering, particularly those with expertise in traffic management systems and detector technologies. Companies capable of engaging in research and development and accustomed to working within the framework of large-scale public sector projects would be well-suited to compete in future contracts initiated by Highways England, particularly those aimed at integrating new technologies into existing operational frameworks.

## Notice

Highways England is looking to set up a task, to: 1. Establish opportunities to develop the current version of MCH1529B - Guidance Notes for the Performance Assessment of Detector Technology/Systems for future deployment of emerging technologies, noting it was first written in 2011; 2. Review the existing scope and statement of requirements for each perceived application within the Highways England operations, such as Motorway Incident Detection and Automated Signalling (known as MIDAS from here on), Stopped Vehicle Detection (known as SVD from here on) and so on; 3. Develop the existing testing regimes which thoroughly examine the technology / systems and services in all aspects; 4. Engage with both internal and external stakeholders to collate an enhanced set of requirements and compile best practices from the last revision in 2011; 5. Acquire an understanding of the capabilities of current and emerging technologies, where they may undertake more than one function; 6. Establish what is required of the Highways England systems to integrate such functionality. The successful delivery of this task will enable Highways England to take advantage of the latest advancements in technology and be confident that these technologies and systems are of a required standard to use across the Highways England Strategic Road Network (SRN).
