## Summary

Transport Scotland has completed a procurement process involving a direct award contract for a pilot project titled "Distracted Driver and Seatbelt Detection Technology Pilot." This initiative, falling under the industry category of research services, involves the short-term hire of equipment and data analysis designed to detect distracted drivers and seatbelt usage in various locations across Scotland. The procurement was conducted without prior publication, as it was determined that Aecom, the awarded supplier, is uniquely capable of deploying the required technology at the necessary scale. The contract, valued at £350,000, was awarded on 6th February 2026, and the process is currently in the award stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in technology development and data analysis services, particularly those specialising in road safety and behavioural research. Companies that can offer innovative and effective technological solutions for traffic enforcement and driver behaviour analysis stand to gain a competitive edge. Additionally, large-scale suppliers, such as Aecom, who possess the capacity to deploy advanced technology in mobile and varied locations, are especially suited to align their services with such public safety projects initiated by national agencies like Transport Scotland.
