Market Engagement - Liverpool City Region Multi Modal Traffic Sensor Framework

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority · Local authority

In brief

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority has announced plans to buy IT and software work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £5,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 July 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 14 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £5,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Combined Authority already has in place a single supplier framework for the provision, installation and maintenance of multi modal traffic sensors across the Liverpool City Region which will come to an end in June 2026 and there is therefore a need to re-tender a suitable framework to continue to expand the sensor network across the LCR. Being able to evidence the return on investment for transport funding is a key requirement and it is now recognised that the data obtained from the sensors is now part a core dataset for multiple purposes across the LCR. The LCRCA is conducting market engagement in order to better understand what is currently available on the market in relation to providing a service for the purchase, installation, maintenance (and repair/replacement of the same if required) and data licensing and hosting requirements of AI multi modal traffic counters/sensors and a data platform to access the data from the counters/sensors. This will allow the LCRCA to improve its data which will enable us to justify, monitor and evaluate improvements we make to the transport network.

How to bid
