## Summary

Somerset County Council is seeking a supplier for the Idox Argonaut UTMC software licence and software support, with an allocated budget of £74,820. This procurement falls within the traffic control services industry and is currently at the Award stage, having been completed on July 26, 2021. The contract period is set to commence on August 1, 2021, and extend until July 31, 2024. The service requirement will be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, and the opportunity was advertised prior to the tender period, which ended on July 20, 2021.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in traffic control technologies and software integration. Companies with experience in software development, particularly those focusing on smart city solutions and traffic management systems, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The established presence of Idox in the market highlights the importance of having a proven product that can integrate with existing infrastructure, suggesting that businesses must demonstrate both technological capability and seamless integration solutions to succeed in this sector.

## Notice

The Idox UTMC Common Database (Argonaut) is an intrinsic part of the Traffic Control and Information Centre and is used to amalgamate various control room systems into one command and control system to save time and resources. \r \r \r \r There are alternative UTMC Common Database suppliers within the UK and Europe, however, each system is unique in its operating protocols and integration into legacy systems. The alternative suppliers are still in the development stage of creating their own UTMC product that would integrate all these required protocols but do not have working product brought to market yet. As the integration into many of the systems/protocols has already been completed by Idox, it would be prudent to continue with a known working product.
