What is being bought

Published requirement description

Leicester City Council face increasing challenges in managing traffic congestion, ensuring road safety, and accommodating various modes of transportation in developments across the city. To address these issues effectively, we are looking to procure a comprehensive traffic modelling solution. Such a solution must provide detailed, microscopic simulations that include pedestrian modelling, allowing for a holistic analysis of traffic flow and interactions between vehicles and pedestrians. This capability will help in optimising infrastructure, evaluating safety measures, and planning for future developments, thereby improving overall traffic efficiency and safety in complex urban environments.

supplier not published—5 Aug 2026CancelledFollowing completion of the procurement process, the Council identified a change in service requirements arising from the ongoing Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), which may significantly impact future operational priorities and the need for the proposed solution. As a result, the Council has decided not to proceed with contract award and has therefore abandoned the procurement exercise.
