What is being bought

Traffic Speed Condition Surveys 2027-2032. National Highways will be procuring a service to produce data assessed and accredited against the detailed TRACS specification. This data is required for asset management by Ops, for compliance with the DMRB, for generation of KPI3, PI5.2 and network valuation. It is also to collect high-quality, objective condition data for efficiently managing the pavement asset, and for collecting data required in the calculation of various KPIs, PIs and Network Valuation figures. To accomplish this, we require a new TRACS supplier to be identified, and a new contract be awarded to continue provision of TRACS data once the current contract ends.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Surveying services (71355000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 716,9414 median · 31.2 average (2,554 of 6,941 with a bid count)4.2 average (2,833 of 6,941 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
