## Summary

Transport Scotland has recently concluded the awarding stage for the contract titled "Distracted Driver and Seatbelt Detection Technology Survey," within the Transport industry category. This process aims to evaluate enforcement technology to determine driver behaviours across Scotland. The procurement process focused on services and utilised a non-competitive, limited procurement method, explaining that no other available suppliers could provide the required technology at this scale. The contract, valued at GBP 342,090, was signed on 20th March 2026, with Aecom, a large supplier based in Edinburgh, successfully selected as the supplier.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in advanced enforcement technology and data analysis within the transport sector. While the procurement was non-competitive due to unique technology requirements, businesses with similar capabilities may anticipate potential competitive tenders in future projects. Companies involved in developing or deploying similar technology, particularly at concurrent and mobile locations, would be well-suited to compete in related future opportunities, aiding them in expanding their market presence in the region.

This is for a short term hire for this trial and may inform future competitive action.
