What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionDerbyshire Constabulary is issuing this Request for Information for a second time following an amendment to the title, which has changed from ‘Back Office Solution for the Casualty Reduction Enforcement Safety Team (CREST)’ to ‘Traffic Enforcement Solution for the Casualty Reduction Enforcement Safety Team (CREST)’. In addition, there have been minor revisions to Questions 2 and 4. If you have previously submitted a response, we appreciate your contribution and kindly ask that you review Questions 2 and 4 and resubmit your response. If this is your first time submitting, we look forward to receiving your response. Derbyshire Constabulary are looking into the options for our traffic enforcement solution within CREST (Casualty Reduction Enforcement Safety Team). This system allows the force to download speeding offences for review, management and action. The force also requires integration with other force applications to ensure a speeding offence is managed effectively and follows a national approved procedure. The Force is assessing the available options so that a business case can be created to move the procurement forwards. To inform the business case, we are reaching out with this Request for Information [RFI] to the market to carry out a full review of the market. If the business case is approved, a compliant procurement route will be taken at the point of purchase.

Competition for Traffic-monitoring equipment (CPV 3497), and who usually turns up
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. Published market evidence for the same work stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Traffic-monitoring equipment (CPV 3497) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
No supplier sizes published for this authority.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in East Midlands.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 38 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
