The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure (above threshold) and the tender closed on 29th June 2022. The contract, valued at £4,000,000 GBP, was awarded to Getmapping plc. The contract period is set to start on 3rd October 2022 and will run until 2nd September 2026. The main procurement category for this opportunity is services, specifically surveying services. The project involves conducting detailed Ground Truth Surveys (GTS) of the highway in each LHA area within the West Midlands region. This tender provides business growth opportunities for firms specialising in surveying services and geographic data management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) are highlighted as being suitable for participation in this procurement process. The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is the contracting authority overseeing this opportunity, with a specific focus on enhancing the management of traffic orders and regulatory data within the region. Businesses adept at delivering digitised highway data solutions and ground surveying services are well-positioned to compete for this contract, which spans a four-year period with potential for further surveys beyond the initial budget allocation. ## Notice Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), on behalf of the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), are looking to provide a region wide "System" for the recording and upkeep of regulatory, order and non-order based highway data, mapped to provide information in a digitised format. This Traffic Order Management system (System) will operate across the entire region but will encompass individual access for each of the seven (7) constituent local highway authorities (LHA), being Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton who will have individual control of the traffic orders within their boundaries. One of the critical aspects of this project is establishing the existing restrictions, prohibitions, and regulatory markings in each of the LHA areas. It is envisaged that best way of achieving this will be from detailed Ground Truth Surveys (GTS) of the highway in each LHA area. These surveys will then form the basis for the review of the on street signing and lining compared to the existing Traffic Regulation Orders which may ultimately result in new consolidation orders being produced in some or all of the LHA areas. At present there is only a budget available for PS500k for surveys to be carried out in the 2022/23 financial year. It is likely, although not confirmed, that further surveys will be required over the next four years which shall be carried out under this Framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03d943f3-e8bd-4321-90f7-3abe4ec148cb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jun 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | 2 Oct 2022 - 2 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £4,000,000 | | 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 | WEST MIDLANDS COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | BIRMINGHAM | | Post town | Birmingham | | Postcode | B19 3SD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG31 Birmingham | | Local authority | Birmingham | | Electoral ward | Newtown | | Westminster constituency | Birmingham Ladywood | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GETMAPPING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71355000 - Surveying services ## Release History - 24 Oct 2022 at 09:57 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03d943f3-e8bd-4321-90f7-3abe4ec148cb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/03d943f3-e8bd-4321-90f7-3abe4ec148cb 24th October 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://wmca.bravosolution.co.uk/go/2812498001810F7710B8 Access to tender pack: ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
