This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on event services and traffic control services, and is designated for the region UKE2, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement scheduled for 24th July 2026, the formal call for tenders is expected to occur by 30th November 2026. The contract period is slated to begin on 1st April 2027 and is planned to conclude by 31st March 2029, with an option for renewal, reflecting a substantial budget of £960,000 gross. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in traffic management and event services to expand their client base and operations. Companies with robust experience in managing vehicle movement associated with large-scale events and a track record of compliance with health and safety standards relevant to traffic management are particularly well-suited to compete. This opportunity demands not only technical expertise in traffic control and management but also excellent coordination and stakeholder liaison skills, making it ideal for established firms in the traffic management industry looking to solidify their presence in the public sector and engage in long-term contracts. ## Notice Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC) is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to provide exhibition traffic management services to support the safe, efficient and coordinated movement of vehicles associated with exhibitions, conferences and other events at the venue. The contract will encompass pre-event planning, development of event-specific traffic management plans, implementation of traffic management measures, management of vehicle holding areas and traffic zones, traffic regulation order administration where required, and the provision of trained traffic management operatives to manage vehicle movements during event build-up and breakdown periods. The successful contractor will work closely with the HCC Traffic & Logistics Manager to plan, coordinate and deliver traffic operations across designated areas of the venue, including the Dragon Road Holding Area and vehicle access routes serving the exhibition halls. Services will include supervision of traffic management personnel, stakeholder liaison, daily briefings, operation of the venue traffic booking system, implementation of temporary traffic management arrangements where required, and post-event reporting. The contractor will be required to provide competent and appropriately qualified supervisory and stewarding personnel capable of managing complex exhibition traffic environments, ensuring compliance with relevant health and safety requirements, traffic management standards and event operational procedures while delivering a professional and customer-focused service to exhibitors, contractors and visitors. ### Planning Information https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=107286&TID=100112373&B= ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065143-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 30 Nov 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000 | | 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 | THE NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHALLERTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL7 8AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Romanby | | Westminster constituency | Richmond and Northallerton | | Delivery location | TLE2 North Yorkshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 63712700 - Traffic control services - 79952000 - Event services ## Release History - 10 Jul 2026 at 12:02 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065143-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065143-2026 10th July 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=107286&TID=100112373&B= - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.northyorks.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
