This initiative falls under the industry category of IT services (consulting, software development, Internet, and support), with a contract value of approximately GBP 3.63 million. The procurement method used is a selective procedure, and the award of the contract occurred on 1 March 2021. The contract period is set to commence on the same date and will run for five years, with the possibility of extension. The tender period ended on 8 January 2021, and delivery addresses span locations including the UK, Europe, and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the IT and software development sector, particularly those that specialise in cloud-based services and modular application development. Companies with expertise in workflow management, real-time mapping solutions, and integration with existing systems would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender is suited to their capabilities, especially those focused on enhancing efficiency and compliance with UK regulations in the haulage industry. ## Notice ESDAL will be a modular, open and hosted in the cloud service. The workflow will be developed on a workflow platform so that workflow configuration is separated from software, thus reducing the IPR held by the supplier. A new more modern mapping solution will be continuously updated as road layouts change in real time. Standardised interfaces will enable third party services to be developed as an alternative to enhancing the core ESDAL system. For example, a mobile phone app for making applications or a mobile phone app that will enable police to be informed of abnormal load movements while on patrol. Other Highways England systems may be able to make use of ESDAL data by the development of open interfaces to ESDAL. It will meet the requirements of the UK Government Digital Service standard. (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard). The contract is envisaged to be for a 5-year period with the potential to extend on a 1 + 1 year basis. The GBP 4.9 million funding covers the first 5 years. Development is required specifically to meet the requirements of the UK Government Digital Service standard. (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard). Current workflows have potential for efficiency improvements while retaining the safety benefits of strict adherence to UK AIL regulations. (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/1998/schedule/1/part/1/crossheading/meaning-of-abnormal-indivisible-load/made). The following non-specified provisions may additionally be taken up by the procuring authority during the lifetime of the contract. These are potential enhancements to ESDAL to keep it up to date with changes in: haulage industry standards, relevant legislation, technical advances e.g. automated and connected vehicles and new functionality to improve system integration. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b11cf768-5530-40b3-b065-64da8a3102d9 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Mar 2021 | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2021 - 28 Feb 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,627,644 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £3,627,644 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HIGHWAYS ENGLAND | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS1 6HA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Lawrence Hill | | Westminster constituency | Bristol East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | IBI GROUP (UK | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 1 Mar 2021 at 13:36 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b11cf768-5530-40b3-b065-64da8a3102d9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b11cf768-5530-40b3-b065-64da8a3102d9 1st March 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2003/1998/schedule/1/part/1/crossheading/meaning-of-abnormal-indivisible-load/made - https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/service-standard ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
