This procurement falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support, which are critical for infrastructure within the Southeast and East UK regions. The process has reached the awarding stage, with the contract officially signed on 20th May 2025. The procurement was carried out using a 'limited' method, meaning it did not include the prior publication of a competition call, due to technical reasons that limited competition. This procedure was essential to address ongoing intellectual property issues and ensure continuity of critical services to prevent major disruptions in the areas of Dartford and Hindhead. The award to Cubic Transportation Systems Ltd, a large enterprise, creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those with expertise in traffic management systems and infrastructure support. This tender is well-suited for firms that can provide innovative solutions and maintain high safety standards, crucial for the continuous operation of key national infrastructure. Companies looking to engage with complex technical projects or seeking to partner with established organisations like National Highways might find this contract appealing, thereby offering substantial prospects for business growth. The arrangement ensures vital services remain operational, which presents a chance for businesses that can support or enhance these critical systems effectively. ## Notice CUBIC Dartford & Hindhead HATMS Tunnel Systems ### Lot Information Lot 1 The contract will provide the necessary time to resolve ongoing intellectual property (IPR) issues with one of the incumbent suppliers. In addition, critical services such as HE Traffic Camera Website (HETC), System Protocol Interface for Windows CE (SPICE), and Automatic Camera Test Tool (ACT) will continue under these contracts until suitable replacements are in place. If these critical national infrastructure services are not continued, major disruptions will occur in the Southeast and East regions, including Dartford and Hindhead tunnels. This will pose significant safety risks and reputational damage to National Highways. Failure to retain these services may result in the closure of critical national infrastructure assets due to an inability to operate them safely and effectively, potentially jeopardising National Highways' licence to operate. Description of services: HATMS Subsystems and software support across all ROCs & Hindhead and Dartford tunnels (Dartford HATMS, Hindhead MIDAS SubSystem, East HATMS and Sub Systems, South East HATMS SubSystems). ### Procurement Information The contract will provide the necessary time to resolve ongoing intellectual property (IPR) issues with one of the incumbent suppliers. In addition, critical services such as HE Traffic Camera Website (HETC), System Protocol Interface for Windows CE (SPICE), and Automatic Camera Test Tool (ACT) will continue under these contracts until suitable replacements are in place. HETC is especially important, as the ADTS project is still in its early stages, with no proof of concept or supplier tendered. HETC remains a crucial backup system during DYNAC incidents in CHARM regions. Similarly, SPICE and ACT are essential services that will be maintained until the exit strategy is fully developed and implemented. If these critical national infrastructure services are not continued, major disruptions will occur in the Southeast and East regions, including Dartford and Hindhead tunnels. This will pose significant safety risks and reputational damage to National Highways. Failure to retain these services may result in the closure of critical national infrastructure assets due to an inability to operate them safely and effectively, potentially jeopardising National Highways' licence to operate. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023208-2025 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 May 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £3,974,382 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL HIGHWAYS | | Locality | GUILFORD | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU1 4LZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Guildford | | Electoral ward | Stoke | | Westminster constituency | Guildford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CUBIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 20 May 2025 at 12:04 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023208-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://nationalhighways.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
