## Summary

The public procurement process is led by Highways England, which has issued a tender titled "Enhanced Pavement Surfacing Defect Identification." This initiative falls under the research and development services category, specifically aimed at improving techniques for identifying road surface defects. The contract is based in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender period has concluded, with the final submission date being 7th March 2018, and the contract was awarded on 25th May 2018. The contract value is £415,095, covering a period from 25th May 2018 to 24th November 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced research and development services, particularly those with expertise in contract-based engineering solutions. Companies with capabilities in intelligent imaging and data collection technology would be particularly well-suited to participate in similar upcoming tenders. The focus on improving transportation infrastructure through innovative defect identification methods offers a niche for growth in the civil engineering and technology sectors.

## Notice

Surfacing defect identification is currently subjectively observed by means of driven physical safety inspections and the location approximated by inspectors. Currently there is no means to photographically evidence defects whilst at prevailing traffic speeds to support these observations. This task seeks to support a smarter way of working for AD, by providing a tactical positional/image based solution which could be implemented alongside current systems in a timely manner.
