What is being bought

Published requirement description

Essex County Council (the Authority) acts as the Highway Authority within the county of Essex and as a result of this has the responsibility to manage the road network under the Traffic Management Act 2004. Across the highway network, there are currently 22 Bus Lane Enforcement Cameras in operation which require ongoing servicing and maintenance to ensure service continuity. In future, there may be a requirement for additional Cameras to be installed across the network.

The Authority is issuing this questionnaire as a Request for Information (RFI) to engage with the market and gather information in order to gain a better understanding of both the capacity and appetite of the market in delivering the required services. Please note that this is not a tender opportunity.

The contracting authority is Essex County Council and any Successor Body meaning one or more entities which assumes any of the Council's functions (as applicable) as a result of Local Government Reform (LGR). Such successor body or bodies may be, without limitation, a local authority, a combined authority, a combined county authority, a strategic authority or any other status determined pursuant to the Devolution and LGR Legislation.
