The process is currently in the planning stage, with supplier engagement underway. The procurement is categorised under the software package and information systems industry, and it seeks to cover the Liverpool City Region, identified by the region code UKD7. Interested suppliers are required to complete a questionnaire by 14 January 2026. The anticipated start of the contract period is 1 July 2026, concluding on 1 July 2030. This procurement falls under the goods category with an estimated value of £5,000,000, and it is planned under the framework agreement method, ensuring a structured and transparent selection process. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in traffic sensor technologies and data platforms. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, ensuring inclusivity in the tendering process. The requirement for AI-powered traffic counters and data hosting opens doors for innovative tech companies that can deliver state-of-the-art solutions in data acquisition and management. Businesses focusing on software development, sensor technology, maintenance services, and data processing would find this procurement particularly suited to their expertise. Successful engagement in this tender could result in a strategic partnership with the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, offering long-term growth potential and the chance to play a key role in enhancing the transport infrastructure of the region. ## Notice The Combined Authority already has in place a single supplier framework for the provision, installation and maintenance of multi modal traffic sensors across the Liverpool City Region which will come to an end in June 2026 and there is therefore a need to re-tender a suitable framework to continue to expand the sensor network across the LCR. Being able to evidence the return on investment for transport funding is a key requirement and it is now recognised that the data obtained from the sensors is now part a core dataset for multiple purposes across the LCR. The LCRCA is conducting market engagement in order to better understand what is currently available on the market in relation to providing a service for the purchase, installation, maintenance (and repair/replacement of the same if required) and data licensing and hosting requirements of AI multi modal traffic counters/sensors and a data platform to access the data from the counters/sensors. This will allow the LCRCA to improve its data which will enable us to justify, monitor and evaluate improvements we make to the transport network. ### Planning Information Supplier's are required to complete questionnaire, that can be located via https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d56928bc-07d5-f011-813a-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21 Or go to The Chest www.the-chest.org and filter the opportunities to Merseytravel in order to view the information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081087-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Feb 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2026 - 1 Jul 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LIVERPOOL CITY REGION COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 1BP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | Waterfront South | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLD7 Merseyside | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 9 Dec 2025 at 14:41 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081087-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/081087-2025 9th December 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d56928bc-07d5-f011-813a-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
