What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Authority currently uses the Causeway One Network platform to support Street Works and Events Coordination, Traffic Management Centre (TMC) operations, highway network monitoring, and communication with residents, elected Members and key stakeholders. Whilst the current contract remains in place until March 2027, the market has evolved significantly, with a number of alternative suppliers now offering comparable and, in some cases, enhanced functionality. A competitive procurement exercise is therefore required to ensure compliance with procurement regulations, demonstrate value for money, and secure a solution that best meets the Authority's current and future operational requirements.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Oct 2027, 23:59 BST.

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
