What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Transport Monitoring Network is a joint project between the Greater Cambridge

Partnership, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, Cambridgeshire

County Council and Peterborough City Council.

Cambridgeshire require a sensor network that will enable us to monitor traffic types and

volumes at defined points around the region. A framework/call off agreement is required to

ensure that we can install a core network of sensors in the first instance, with the option for

our local authority partners to be able to procure additional sensors at a set price as

required. Maintenance/Support of the network should be included in the costs for a

minimum four-year period with a possibility to extend by a further 2 years.

This length of contract is required to cover an extended maintenance contract for similar

sensors; the type of sensors required have a typical lifespan of around 6 years and therefore

the contract need to have the option to run for this time. we too would like to buy them with

an annual maintenance fee for a 6 year period if suitable (dependent on the successful

suppliers equipment)

  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “21108 Mobility Monitoring Network for Cambridgeshire” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

The Authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar days standstill period at the point information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. The duration of this standstill will be disclosed at this point.

This period allows unsuccessful tenderers to seek further debriefing from the Contracting Authority before the contract is entered into. Such additional information should be required from (Refer to address in Part 1.1). If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Chapter 6) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to take action in the High Court (England, Wales and Northern Ireland). Any such action must be brought promptly. Where a contract has not been entered into the Court may order the setting aside of the

award decision or order the authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the contract has been entered into the Court may order the ineffectiveness of a contract where serious breach have occurred in addition to any fine, the Court may instead provide for alternative penalties, either contract shortening, fines or both.

The Authority have invested in an e-tendering tool in order to facilitate its tendering processes in a compliant and transparent manner.
