## Summary

Kent County Council is in the planning stage of a tender process titled "CN250568 - Highway Signs & Lines Condition Survey Contract" within the services category, focusing on highways engineering services. The Council, located in Maidstone, United Kingdom, is in search of strategic insights into the condition and management of highway assets through a long-term contract. Highly anticipated from the sub-central government body, the engagement milestone's due date is the 24th June 2026, indicating the commencement of market interaction to shape procurement requirements. The contract aims to regularly survey highway signs, lines, and road studs to inform future maintenance strategies efficiently.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in highways engineering, surface surveying, and building surveying services to establish a prolonged partnership with a prominent local authority. Firms capable of delivering GIS-based asset management and condition surveys would find this contract particularly pertinent. Kent County Council is open to considering proposals involving the complete package of asset management systems under one contract lot or split arrangements that equally meet the Council's objectives. The gross contract value of £576,000 signals considerable investment into regional infrastructure, offering a competitive edge for businesses in survey technologies and asset management solutions.

## Notice

Kent County Council is seeking responses from the commercial market to help shape our understanding of the condition and asset management principles around our highway (non-illuminated) signs, lines and road stud assets. Recent activities have taken place to explore condition surveys around signs and lines and the Council has accumulated beneficial data around lining condition and signage assets and sign locations. This has been an ad-hoc activity historically, and the Council wish to move to an established long-term contract to survey these assets regularly and acquire data to inform our future maintenance and strategic work programmes around these assets going forward. Requirement and context: The Council shall look to identify a supplier that can carry out the following requirement as part of this new contract: *To provide asset management data on KCC signs, lines and stud assets using a GIS type system. *To provide condition survey data on KCC signs lines and stud assets to inform our understanding of asset condition and to allow KCC to direct the efficient use of resources in their maintenance and prioritisation. *To consider allowing such a system to expand to record the asset management and condition survey data for street furniture (bollards, reflectorised road traffic bollards pedestrian guard rails). *Whilst it would be KCC preference for a provider to provide both an asset management system, a condition survey and a management system under a single contract, we would accept provision of either as part of a contract lot if it achieves our requirements at best value.
