## Summary

Transport Scotland has completed the procurement process for the "Distracted Driver and Seatbelt Detection Technology Survey," aimed at enhancing road safety through technology research services. As a national agency located in Glasgow, Transport Scotland sought to analyse technology capable of detecting driver behaviours such as the usage of handheld devices and seatbelt compliance in Scotland. This procurement, classified under the CPV category "Research services," was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior publication. The award stage concluded on 20 March 2026 with a contract valued at £342,090, awarded to Aecom, a large-scale supplier with headquarters in Edinburgh.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology-driven research services, particularly those focusing on road safety and driver behaviour analytics. By engaging in such procurement processes, businesses can expand their portfolio in the transport sector and contribute to innovative safety solutions. Although this particular contract was awarded without competition due to its specific requirements, similar initiatives may arise, offering avenues for businesses that possess expertise in research, technology development, and data analysis tailored to transport safety. Organisations capable of supplying advanced detection equipment and conducting thorough data analysis would find themselves well-suited for future contracts of this nature.
