## Summary

Staffordshire County Council procured traffic-monitoring equipment for its traffic management activities. The requirement covered renewing existing VivaCity traffic sensors, adding speed-recording capability and purchasing one new sensor. The main category was goods, specifically traffic-monitoring equipment (CPV 34970000). The equipment is for delivery in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Stafford. The selected supplier was VivaCity Labs Limited, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. This is a focused sensor supply requirement rather than a broad traffic-management services contract, so it is most relevant to businesses that manufacture, supply or support traffic sensors and associated speed-recording equipment.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold procedure; the procedure detail is recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. The contract was awarded to VivaCity Labs Limited, and the contract is active. It was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £30,855.25 excluding VAT, or £37,025.70 including VAT. The award covered the traffic-monitoring equipment requirement described above. The published outcome identifies the supplier and contract terms, but does not set out an award date or an evaluation basis. The purchasing organisation is Staffordshire County Council.

This outcome is useful market evidence for suppliers of traffic-monitoring equipment, sensor renewals and speed-recording technology. The buyer required a combination of renewing an existing sensor estate, adding a new recording capability and supplying one additional sensor, so credible competitors would need to support both replacement requirements and incremental equipment purchases. The award to VivaCity Labs Limited, an SME, shows that a smaller specialist supplier can meet this type of council requirement. Businesses positioned for similar work should be able to provide traffic sensors and speed-recording equipment for public-sector traffic operations, understand renewal requirements for existing systems and supply equipment suitable for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is specific to Staffordshire County Council’s traffic-monitoring needs.
