## Summary

The procurement process for the contract titled "Sensor Measured Texture Requirements for Asphalt" was awarded to WSP UK Limited by Transport Scotland. This contract falls under the services category and involves identifying appropriate sensor measured texture requirements for asphalt materials on the Scottish trunk road network. The procurement stage was completed with a contract value of £44,818.57 signed on 14th December 2022. The buying organisation, Transport Scotland, is located in Glasgow, UK, and the procurement method used was an open procedure.

This tender award presents business growth opportunities for companies providing services related to sensor technology, asphalt materials testing, and transport research.

## Notice

Identify appropriate sensor measured texture requirements for both newly laid and trafficked thin surfacing, TS2010 and HRA materials on the Scottish trunk road network. In order to do this correlation between sand patch test and sensor measured texture depth will be revisited (no definitive correlation value has been established at this time) and if accurate correlation is still not possible appropriate values of SMTD will need to be established from Wet Accident rate vs Texture relationship analysis.
