## Summary

National Highways has awarded a contract for the provision of support and maintenance services to existing and new radar units, supply of additional radar devices, and potentially upgrading existing radar drive mechanisms under the title "Stopped Vehicle Detection." The procurement falls under the services category, specifically traffic monitoring services, with a focus on the UK region. The award was made using a limited procurement method, specifically an Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in traffic monitoring services, installation of traffic monitoring equipment, and radar technology. Companies specialising in radar unit support, maintenance, supply, and upgrades would find this tender suitable for expanding their operations. National Highways is seeking to work with suppliers capable of integrating with existing radar solutions and operational technology environments, making it essential for interested businesses to have expertise in these areas to compete effectively.

## Notice

The scope of the procurement is to provide: i) support and maintenance services to existing radar units and for new radar units to be supplied under this contract, ii) the supply of additional radar devices for the targeted replacement of specific existing units iii) the option to upgrade the drive mechanism within existing radar units

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract has 3 elements: a) support and maintenance services to the existing 1200 radar units which have already been supplied and installed; support and maintenance services to additional radar units to be supplied under this contract as part of a targeted device refresh where radar are reaching "end of life"; and support and maintenance services for the upgrade of existing radars on the M3 and M25 and for the National Emergency Area Refresh Programme. b) Supply of additional radar units (in the region of 120 units) to replace existing devices which are approaching "end of life". c) the option to upgrade the drive mechanism within existing radar units. No decision has been made regarding the adoption of a new drive mechanism so this would be incorporated into the contract as additional optional scope.

### Procurement Information

National Highways is relying on Regulation 32(2)(b) (ii) and (iii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to justify the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication for the following reasons: 1. The proposed supplier has exclusive (intellectual property) rights in the hardware and software already supplied to National Highways and do not share /re-sell/licence any of its designs/intellectual property with/to third parties. Without these, no other supplier could provide the support and maintenance services under the proposed contract to the pre-existing hardware. For the same reasons, no other supplier could provide upgrades to existing hardware. 2. Any targeted replacement of hardware under the proposed contract must be capable of integrating and interoperating with the existing deployed radar solution and its wider operational technology environment. In order to achieve this integration, access to the existing supplier's intellectual property is required and the existing supplier will not share this with any third party. The proposed supplier is therefore currently the only supplier who is capable of supplying replacement hardware which will integrate with the existing solution and operational technology environment. 3. The only means by which another supplier could provide services and supplies similar to those under the proposed contract would be to replace the existing hardware with an alternative solution. Very significant investment has been made to deploy the existing hardware and the majority of these assets still have a number of years before they reach 'end of life'. To undertake a wholesale replacement of the hardware at this juncture would therefore be disproportionate and unreasonable.
